LibraryThing Widget

Scroll down in this post for a LibraryThing widget showing three random books in the Ohio University Women's Center library. LibraryThing is a very cool and powerful database for free (up to 200 books, after that a very small fee). Just create an account, then start adding your books. The easiest way is just keying in the ISBN--the database finds the other metadata and a cover image if available. There are also social networking aspects to try too. Check it out!

In the widget the book covers link to Amazon; the titles link to the book record in LibraryThing; and the authors link to the author record in LibraryThing.



And in this widget, you can search the library from here!
