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.
