New catalogue enhancement with LibraryThing

As part of our OPAC redesign project, we have now rolled out a new enhancement feature. LibraryThing for Libraries is a social cataloguing web application which draws on the extensive LibraryThing database for tags, suggestions for similar titles and details of other editions and translations.
For an example of the links see “The architecture of happiness” by Alan De Botton.
You will see a list of “Similar Books” and a “tag cloud” at the bottom of the page.If you click on one of the tags at the bottom of the screen, it will open a tag browser which will show books in our collections with that LibraryThing tag.
In the same way, the “Similar Books” list is linked through the tags. All links are to other books in our collections.
