online libraries
keep track of your stuff!
Your personal library online. You can catalog books, DVDs and CDs, and a host of other things that you might be “consuming.” Keep track of what you’re reading and share it with friends. Use tags and other data to see what media others are using!
Have you ever wanted to keep track of the books you have in your personal collection? Now you can with tools like AllConsuming, LibraryThing, and Goodreads.
Alternatively, you can use these tools to let people know what you’ve been reading as opposed to what you own.
To set up an account with LibraryThing for example, you will only need a username and password. Once you are logged in, you can start adding your books. If you’d like, you can also add descriptions of the book, information on when you purchased it, etc. You can also create a blog widget that feeds a list of books at random or in chronological order directly to a website.
Ideas for online library activities:

Ideas for online library activities:
- Add books assigned by teachers and tag them by teacher and due dates for book reports.
- Have students keep track of what they read over holiday breaks.
- Create a group for your class or cadre where users can join with their individual accounts and conduct a conversation about what they’re reading.

Week 8, Thing 19
Library Thing is a wonderful find. As I posted earlier, my husband and I had discusssed cataloging our home library and this is perfect. It's very easy to use. I borrowed a scanner from school and just scan in the ISBN number (some paperbacks have to be entered by hand). I also added the mobile feature to our cell phones so that we can search our home library while in book stores, etc.
