I spoke with Tim Spalding yesterday. Yes it's possible to incorporate
LTFL into Evergreen and Koha--takes a little Perl hacking, but can be
done. I want to try this.

I spoke to Tim Spalding, founder of LibraryThing, a couple months ago &
asked the same question. The answer at that point was no, and somehow I
feel like we would have heard about it if anyone had started using it.
I remember that he said he was very interested in Evergreen in general
and would like to develop LTFL for Evergreen, but had not been
approached by anyone using it yet.
It's just a matter of production interest, really. I'd be happy to
work with LT on tight integration with Evergreen, and judging by the
code quality of both projects, it should be next to trivia.
That being said, there are somethings that Evergreen and LTFL both do
today (oISBN and thingISBN, for instance) and some features planned
for Evergreen that LTFL already does. I think there are ways that
even the competing features can cooperate, all to the patrons' and
staff members' benefit.

Valerie,
I'm so sorry--It's LibraryThing For Libraries.
http://www.librarything.com/forlibraries/
Here's a blurb from the website:
* Give your patrons exciting new content, including
recommendations and tag clouds.
* Let your patrons take part, with reviews, ratings and tags. Keep
the control you want.
* Enhance your catalog with just a few lines of HTML. Works with
any OPAC and requires no back-end integration. Really.
* Draw on the collective intelligence of your patrons and
LibraryThing members.
It's great for OPACs that don't have tagging. LTFL offers a
cost-effective solution. If anyone using Evergreen has, is, or is
planning to use LTFL, I'd like to hear about it.
Thanks,
Deb

pardon my ignorance but what is LTFL. I tried searching it on
