- Let your patrons interact. Keep the control you want.
- Enhance your catalog with just a few lines of HTML. Works with almost any OPAC and requires no back-end integration. Really.
- Draw on the collective intelligence of your patrons and LibraryThing members.
- See a big list of libraries using LibraryThing for Libraries.
