Online bookshelves keep expanding
Shelfari, which launched in October last year, is another website aimed at developing a book-sharing community. Similar to LibraryThing, which Quillblog previously discussed here, Shelfari allows members to put their personal libraries online.
The platform is a virtual shelf displaying the front covers of the “shelfarians’” libraries, and browsers may search by title, author, ISBN, or subject. Members may build a friends list, and the site even suggests other people to contact based on reading taste. The largest library is currently held by shelfarian “amoxcalli” who has 6,993 books.
Here’s mine.
Amazon has something similiar called Your Media Library. It’s more about cataloging everything you own like Delicious Library than just books. Largest collection on Amazon’s thing is Charles Simms’ with only 2,600 items.
