Library Thing

Have you ever tried to remember the titles of books you have to go with a certain theme or skill? Now you can with LibraryThing - an online library catalog system.

What is it?
  • Join the world’s largest book club.
  • Catalog your books from Amazon, the Library of Congress and 700 other world libraries. Import from anywhere.
  • Find people with eerily similar tastes.
  • Find new books to read.
  • Free Early Reviewer books from publishers and authors
  • Enter 200 books for free, as many as you like for $10 (year) or $25 (life).
  • Available in many languages
After signing up, you add your books and tag them with topics relevant to your classroom. Books can be added manually or through the Library Thing Barcode Scanner ($15). Whenever you are looking for a book on a particular topic, simply go to your "Tags" page and click on that tag. For example, if you are looking for a book on winter, click on the winter tag and you can see all of your classroom books on winter.
