From Our Libraries' Customers
Discovering new possibilities. A true story.
- Attempting to decipher my library's new online catalog. Grrr.... I love my library, but this is SO confusing.
- So... I have successfully registered for the new online library system, and the first thing I see on my account is TWO overdue books! #crap
- I have a total of 10 currently checked out. That's average for me. Not-so-average is that I don't have any on hold. Hmm... must remedy this.
- I'm complaining about this new set-up, but really it's pretty cool. We can now review the items we check out, including movies. [more]
- And it keeps an ongoing log of what we check out. We can rate & review items, and see other ppl's activity, too. Kinda like goodreads. Nice.
- @lydia_sharp Looks like your library is using BiblioCommons, which is pretty cool. Social networking + library catalog.
- @VintageReader Yes! That's exactly what it is. :-) And now that I've familiarized myself with it, dare I say it's *better* than goodreads...
- @VintageReader Still love goodreads, but this has a lot of features (like tagging w/ a content warning) that goodreads doesn't. Very helpful
- @lydia_sharp mine in Howard county MD is very similar and I love it. Can renew online too if it's not on hold by anyone else. <3 the library
- @DB_Smyth I'm getting sucked into now that I've figured out the basics. It's a lot like goodreads with shelves and ratings and so forth. Fun
- If you don't see me for a while, twitter, it's not b/c I'm writing (which I had planned on). It's b/c I'm fooling around w/ my library.
- Will borrow again A+++++++

My @MultCoLib is the only institution that merits memorizing a 14-digit account number. New online catalog in beta is great.
-
@rdpl many! As always, great service, love @bibliocommons
-
Brooklyn Public Library just updated their site. The My Account page is all fancified.
-
@AustinPublicLib The new catalog is SO MUCH BETTER. Switch it over as the default right now! Seriously. #IMeanIt

Loving the new Austin Public Library Catalog. t.co/PrqYzhlv

I love the new @SantaMonicaPL catalog system! It also might be a perfect case study for the paper I'm presently writing.
-
@marygkosta It's @bibliocommons and it's awesome!! Lethbridge library has a twitter too! @LethLib
-
So impressed with the Lethbridge Public Library online catalogue. You can see book covers, read reviews and author notes, and get booklists!
-
yes @nypl i love bibliocommons. i will browse some lists that include wolf hall!
-
Bibliocommons provides curation in catalog we never had before. Can promote collections cross-platforms #LJDOD12
-
@kongtemplation bibliocommons has a great KW search and 'didyoumean' feature. But I still use author searches to find an actor's movies etc
-
@OmahaLibrary I really like the new catalog great upgrade!
-
@bibliocommons @omahalibrary & it's great! Love the new format!
-
Have I mentioned how much I love the @opl_bpo iPhone app? Because I do. It's really, really useful.
-
I created this reading list with the help of @EPLdotCA. It's a great way to keep track of what I want to read. t.co/etTlTjVn #yeg
-
@BPLBoston AWESOME! I don't have to go log in to another site anymore! Hooray!
-
The Bibliocommons mobile app for libraries looks awesome. t.co/pmIK7sVP #libraries
-
Bibliocommons allows users to download #ebooks DIRECTLY from the catalog. This rules.
