LibraryThing at ALA

I've posted the details of our attendance at this year's American Library Association conference in Chicago over on Thingology. We have a booth in the exhibit hall, and we'll be showing off new features for LibraryThing for Libraries.

LibraryThing Reviews in Library Catalogs

We've just released a new feature for LibraryThing for Libraries—Reviews.

LibraryThing reviews will start showing up in library catalogs across the country, and library patrons will be able to add their own reviews directly into a library catalog. But that's not all. Check out this post on Thingology for more.

LibraryThing for Libraries now found in FictionDB

LibraryThing for Libraries, our library catalog enhancer, can now be found bulking up knowledge at the website FictionDB.

FictionDB, which has been around since 1999 (which is about 49 Internet years), started out as a romance fiction database, and has grown to include the suspense, western, and speculative genres.

LibraryThing for Libraries is a set of enhancements that can be added to an existing database to show tag clouds and recommended titles. (FictionDB calls it "Read These Yet?", which I love.)

Check out how the whole thing mashes up with the novel Dead Until Dark, and read more about our partnership at the FictionDB blog.
