Awesome website for setting up classroom library catalog

[ReadersnRacers@aol.com]

www.librarything.com

Super simple to use (just type in name of book or ISBN #) and click on 
picture of novel.   It keeps titles, picture of cover, author's name, your tags 
(like I put in lexile #'s or if it was a Sunshine Reader), has a spot for a review 
of the book (I thought that this would be great eventually for students to 
submit for me to add to the list).   It also maintains easy linking to 
amazon.com & several other book dealers (to get a quick replacement cost should the 
book go missing).   You can choose to make it public or private and can link to 
your blog (if you have one).

It's free for first 200 books.   I'm planning on inputting my classroom 
library so that I can post what is available with a sign out/returned sheet next to 
the descriptions.   I'm just so excited at how easy to use and quick it was.  
 I was beating my head against the wall with Excel - this is a snap!   I just 
had to share....
