Library Thing and HIP

I'm very excited about the possibilities of Library Thing for Libraries and library catalogues.
We incorporated LTFL into our HIP catalogue several months ago and have received much positive feedback from members of the public about this.
I was asked to give a presentation about this at the SirsiDynix conference in Melbourne a couple of weeks ago - see Zoho slideshow on left.
And even better - we have just added the Reviews enhancement. You can read reviews by other Library Thing members or add your own. See this example
Or check out a video of how it works. Thanks to Colleen Medling from Salt Lake County Library for telling us about Jing - a free screen capture program
You can also check out the link that we have just added to further enrich the catalogue.
