Cataloguing with LibraryThing

I had looked at LibraryThing in the past, but had not started to use it. I like the idea of using it, but recognize the time and commitment involved if you want to add reviews and tags, and other content. I spent quite some time looking at all the features. It really does create an online community of book lovers. I work at Oakville Public Library, which is using BiblioCommons for its online catalog. Many of the features on LibraryThing are also on BiblioCommons, such as the ability to maintain your own library, make lists, rate, review and tag books, and connect with like-minded readers. As such, BiblioCommons is my first priority (and job requirement), and preference for this type of application. I will use LibraryThing again, particularly for the book reviews and chats, and to find like-minded readers.
