Down to the wire
Tomorrow is the first day of Computer Literacy 2 project presentations. Everyone is tearing around taking care of last minute details. Here is a photo of the Potteropoly group conducting some usability testing. In case you can't tell, that's Kevin's personal expression of approval.

I am particularly appreciative of the efforts of a group that has been entering our graphic novel holdings into LibraryThing. They've described a little bit about the process on their profile page. Now someone can do a quick search of the tags to find books that the online catalog doesn't index in the same way, like our shojo manga. That's only for starters. Users can link to the "libraries" of others who have similar books, read reviews, post reviews, see author photos and book cover images, and subscribe to RSS feeds so they'll know every time their favorite LibraryThing-ites add new books. Anyway, thanks Eleni, John, and Dillon! We'll take it from here.

LT Project - Awesome. Over at UGL we've been thinking of doing the same thing but trying to figure out (1) an automated approach and (2) whether there is a way to link back to the OPAC record for circ status and requesting. Want to work together?
Totally! I don't have any tips on the automation aspect, but I bet there's some expertise out there to help with the OPAC linking business...
