Since the Learning 2.0 programme, related topics keep coming up through listservs, newspaper articles, etc. I don’t think this is a coincidence, rather the nature of trends and the growing awareness of them. I just glanced over an article comparing LibraryThing with similar products, Shelfari and Gurulib. I tried to access Shelfari but experienced difficulties loading the site. I could open Gurulib but have yet to play with it.

On another note, when reading posts about LibraryThing, mention was made of another list called NGC4Lib (Next Generation Catalogs for Libraries). Apparently, the creator of LibraryThing is a subscriber and contributor. I just subscribed. I’m wondering how conventional or unconventional the discussion may be.
