Is there an option from TinyCat to show the list of all tags, so that clicking on any of them will present all the records of the works that contain them, and, at the time, from these records is access given to the "star" and "envelope" icons under the cover, with the aim of being able to loan or reserve the book?
Right now from the home page of a library for Tinycat you can link to a list of LibraryThing tags. This list of tags shows the book records that contain them. But these records do not belong to TinyCat and from them you cannot add a work to a list (Add to list) or send its data by mail (Mail to me), and subsequently make the loan or the on hold
For example, from the https://www.librarycat.org/lib/BibliotecaJosepCosta website
we can link to the list of Thematic tags: https://www.librarything.com/tags/BibliotecaJosepCosta,
or with another more artistic version: https://www.librarything.com/stats/BibliotecaJosepCosta/tagcloud.
Both lists show a list of all tags. But the records they take you to do not directly allow you to start the management to make loans and reservations.
For example:
https://www.librarything.com/work/45319/book/262722935.
As, on the other hand, they do register books in TinyCat through the Star and the Envelope under the cover image:
https://www.librarycat.org/lib/BibliotecaJosepCosta/search/text/kaddish+and+othe...
Maybe it's not possible because one thing is LibraryThing and the other is TinyCat.
This "problem" with tag lists happens with any list (authors, titles, publishers,...) we request that it was in LibraryThing, not in TinyCat.
At the moment you need to search the list in LibraryThing and copy the data of the book into the TinyCat search box
If what we are looking for is a single tag or a combination of them, then it can be done using the Advanced search with the Tags field
Thanks and regards

>1 BibliotecaJosepCosta: Hi Josep, thanks for reaching out! I hope I am interpreting your message correctly, so please correct me if not.
All of your LibraryThing records that you make visible in TinyCat are available within TinyCat (without needing to return to LibraryThing, unless you're changing the record for your item). There are ways to filter those records in TinyCat to search for tags and create links.
For example, you can search for a specific tag via the search bar on your TinyCat home page by typing "tag:" before the word(s) you're searching. You can search genres, languages, etc. the same way.
You can also filter down to specific tags, genres, languages, etc.) after searching by clicking the field you want to specify on the right hand column.
When you search or filter for specific records this way, you can simply take the URL (for example, https://www.librarycat.org/lib/BibliotecaJosepCosta/search/tag/Literatura+nord-a... and create a link to that on your TinyCat home page. That way, you won't be directing people back and forth between LibraryThing and TinyCat pages. This will also allow checkouts, holds, and whatever other circulation actions you enable to be done through the record in TinyCat.
I hope this helps! Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have further questions or if I misunderstood your question in any way.
Very best,
Zeph
