A good place to start is to take the tour: www.librarything.com/tour/ This will give you the fundamentals of what the site is about.

DebiCates recently created an amazing tutorial. https://www.librarything.com/ngroups/24977/Welcome-Goodreaders-to-LibraryThing. You don't have to be from GoodReads to benefit from it.

>3 Taphophile13: How nice! I hadn't thought about others finding it helpful except those from GoodReads.

@SayoriIsBestGirl I'd say start with the directory that lists links of things you might want to do as an early member of LibraryThing here: https://www.librarything.com/topic/375879
