Weekends were made for disambiguating authors in #LibraryThing. Always strangely soothing 📚
It's unusually hot in the UK, so it seemed a good time for a bit more cataloguing of my 'private' library on https://www.librarything.com/ It's free and once you get going it's quite an insight finding similar collections and recommendations.
It's good for collections by societies, book clubs, college libraries, church libraries etc. too. #genealogy #histodons #librarything @librarythingtim @librarything #books #bookstodon

The format of #LibraryThing author URLs seems to have been changed today (?).

Reading the April chapter of Aldo Leopold's 1949 "Sand County Almanac" to hear about April floods, oak openings and their disappearance with the coming of the settler, and the peenting of the woodcock.

There must be more books of natural history, written with one chapter per month in mind, composed over the span of a lifetime's observation or in one single year-long sitting. The back mentions Annie Dillard, Edward Abbey, Robert Finch.

I spent a chunk of yesterday cataloguing my DVD collection using #Librarything. Yes, it was a #GoodFriday.

Je découvre que #LibraryThing dispose d'une section consacrée aux bibliothèques patrimoniales de diverses célébrités et/ou lieux importants. Par exemple, 55 ouvrages pour une dame des temps jadis, 226 livres pour Amy Winehouse...

Y a-t-il ici des gens qui utilisent ces partages de connaissances, qui en ont testé la fiabilité?

Oh, right... For those who don't know, #LibraryThing is a "catalog and review all your books" site, similar to #Goodreads, but without all the apparatus that steers people toward #Amazon, Amazon-Amazon & Amazonian Amazon subsidiaries.

Today your friendly neighborhood rodent imported all of the #SROP books into #LibraryThing, just for fun. It worked. The part that didn't work was covers. Oh, well, nobody judges a book by its lurid cover, right?
