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.
- No more post-it lists of books that I've been jonesing to read :)
-
The new @VPL website is great! Way easier to find books than the previous system, and easier still to keep track of my reading. SCORE!
-
The new @VPL iPhone app is rather awesome. Nice feature: shows the next due date for items on the "My Borrowing" summary screen.
-
Just downloaded @VPL iphone app. Love it.

Really like the new online catalogue at @VPL, Even feeling a little 'brary nostalgia. + great pic of @tararobertson on the website - shazam!

Freaking out about how awesome @bibliocommons is on the Vancouver library website. Great UI, super fast. I've been waiting a decade for this

Much easier to compile a reading list w/ call numbers with @BPLBoston new catalog. bostonpl.bibliocommons.com/

Omgvegbbq! I got the @VPL app to work & now my library card barcode is SCANNABLE from my phone. *swoon*

The new @VPL Bibliocommons feature is interesting. Sort of a social network for library nerds.
