You're right; the social thing is probably not the right direction. But
being able to create an "annotated bibliography" that could be exported
would be great. Other things: 1) Sorting lists by title, author,
copyright, etc. 2)Generation of sub-lists based on some criteria.
3)Tagging books to do bulk actions on; for example, export just the
books that are tagged in the list. 4) Merging lists. 5) More exporting
options: allow user to choose which MARC data to export and in what
format; maybe allow the user to enter in a string of characters that
contain variables for MARC data; the exporter would just substitute the
MARC data for the corresponding variable and keep the rest unchanged.
