Hi Randal,
LibraryThing offers a whole slew of enhancements that, supposedly, intergrate
with whatever your existing OPAC is. Here is their description of them. Note
that at the end of each description they point to a library that's using that
particular enhancement.

Matt,
I use library thing to track book reviews for an academic journal, but have not
used it for anything beyond that. The jerwood music library uses library thing
too .. I follow their site.

But I'm not familiar with the enhancements. Could you tell me a bit more?

Hi All,
This isn't really a video-specific question, but I was wondering if anyone is
using goodreads or LibraryThing at your library? And if you're using
LibraryThing, are you using their catalog enhancement features?
Cheers,
Matt
VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues
relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control,
preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and
related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective
working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication
between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and
distributors.
