Is LibraryThing a dating website? No, no it is not. But intellectConnect is! "LibraryThing appears poised to turn the cataloguing of books into a form of communal recreation." How can libraries use LibraryThing? Fully integrate LibraryThing's social data into your catalog using LibraryThing for Libraries. LTFL lets you add tag-based browsing, book recommendations, ratings, reviews and more to your OPAC, by integrating with LibraryThing and its high-quality book data. Use a LibraryThing widget to display new books or featured books on your library's website. You'll have to create a LibraryThing account, and add the books to it. Then use one of our widgets to generate code that you can just copy and paste into your website. Small organizations and libraries can use LibraryThing to as a catalog for their collection.
