Our library is growing

LibraryThing is a site that allows you to catalog your books--it thrills librarians partly because you can create catalog records using the Library of Congress information, so each book includes things like the Dewey Decimal call number! The LOC call number! The citations for the book using APA, MLA, Chicago!

And what is more exciting than a catalog? A catalog is metadata.

More about metadata soon.

Specimen Garden's catalog is now available on LibraryThing.
