Task #7

I chose to sign up with goodreads.com. Shanna had already told me about this site and I was planning on exploring it anyways. I like the fact that I can keep track of the books I've read, rate them, and generate a list of the books that I'm intending to read. It's a helpful way to organize all of my personal reading info. Plus, as I read children's literature, I can write up reviews and have a handy place to keep track of all my reader's advisory info. Very cool. I also like the fact that I could find other people who work in children's libraries. They could be a good resource for me.

When I looked at the Boulder Library Good Reads account, I noticed that not many patrons or staff have been using it. Maybe it's a new program, but as far as creating a Good Reads account for our website, I'm not completely convinced that it would get much use. It could be a really cool resource, but we would definitely have to publicize, and publicize it some more, it to get patron response.
