Exploring Medical Librarianship and Web Geekery

 
 
 
 

GuruLib

So, I loved Librarything from the first moment I heard about it, but was bothered that it only covered books.

Just tried out GuruLib today. Still in Beta and a little cludgy, it seems a bit like a Librarything that can include DVDs and music
.

Still thinking about the neat things that could be done with this if they continue to improve the interface.  Worth checking out. 

Also interesting: Is it just me, or is the login area clearly modelled after Google login boxes?

    Just writing to let you know that LibraryThing will be adding the ability to catalog other media (movies, music) later this summer. We’d love any suggestions or ideas as to how and what should be implemented…

    That’s great to hear, Abby- thanks for letting me know! Please see the comments I made for GuruLib here: http://davidrothman.net/2006/07/19/gurulib-creators-solicit-feedback-david-obliges-to-the-chagrin-of-all/

    Much of what I mentioned for GuruLib could be applied for LibraryThing, too.
