Thing #19

This is a really neat site. I love to read and spend a great deal of time reading. I hate going to the bookstore and wandering around looking for a book. Sites like this allow me to get suggestions based on the books that I like. It kind of reminds me of the Netflix website and how it recommends movies to me based on what I like. This would be a great place to find like-minded individuals. I do not have a classroom library. Although I can definitely see how a teacher that had one would find this useful. I question how small libraries can use it to keep track of books. I thought that libraries were not allowed to keep a record of the books that a person checked out. I would be curious to see how they use this is they are not keeping a record...

  1. If it is your personal library, you can keep track of what someone has checked out from you. It's public libraries and school libraries that must adhear(sp?) to the rules of FERPA.
