I have not used Librarything before and am quite impressed! Have always avoided cataloguing but this is a quick and easy electronic cataloguer that also combines social networking. Very clever! I may actually revisit this post 23 things.

Am amazed at how Google Books has progressed in the last couple of years. I have used Google Books on various occasions to find information for researchers rather than use the services of document delivery. This has been really effective particularly for older books that are out of copyright. Have now created my own library.
Some libraries are using Google Books to embed previews into their online catalogues. Links to previews could also be sent out academics as collection development suggestions. Might just follow up on this.
