Tonight I added the first two books from my personal library to my Library Thing account. I used the "add manually" function, and really enjoyed engaging with Library Thing's interface. Tagging is fun, too, and I endorse Library Thing's seeming emphasis on tags over other established classification schemes. Still, I wish there were fields to enter subject headings like LCSH.
Library Thing's rather addicting and makes me think I could be a cataloger, although I've only taken one cataloging class in library school.
I wonder what I will discover about my book collection by cataloging it.
Besides my personal library of "grown-up books," I also want to catalog the hundreds of children's books that also live in this apartment.
