I looked over your draft Tricia, I have some constructive critisism...... although I still dont like the word critisism, hopefully just some helpful points...

Intro when you say "things" I think it would be a clearer definition to say books, and would shorten it up a smidge. Although you do address this in a later sentence, so if there's a certain tone and style your trying to convey, keep it.


profile page I also think for general knowledge it may be beneficial to show the bottom of the page where friend requests are found. Also, where to locate your own reviews, as you touched on where to find member reviews. I dont know if you guys think this is relevant?

the home page - there are only 2 blogs - library thing blog & Thingology. However, there are numberous blog *posts*

I think you answered what was supposed to be my bullet. library 'situation,'is a bit vague as to which question you are answering. I think. I thought I had -explanation of how this tool could be useful to you as a library 'professional'- However, the fourth bullet is more for- explaining how it can be used in a libray 'setting'-, such as being able to add 'librarything for libraies' and add reviews without even leaving the catalogue. The 3rd bullet using it as a 'professional" would be like using it as readers advisory and such. Geoff will be showing us examples of librarything in action as well as not in aciton.


"how could this tool be used in a public library situation? Geoff will talk about the integrated catalogs that some libraries are using. this is the most obvious use and librarything has breated a special area - librarything for libraries just for this. I would like to talk about using librarything in a public library as a reader's advisory tool."

Perhaps this is just confusing me slightly. It seems like Geoff will be talking about using it in a library setting (using an integrated catalogue) and I am confused if he is supposed to be talking about using it in a libray 'setting' (library thing for libraries) or if you are cause you touched on it, or if I am.

Perhaps the 4th and 5th bullet can be combined,Knock both out at once? Or just partly combined. Or keep it separate for oral but either way the two are linked. One explains, while Geoff shows an example without the explaination and then breaks off on it not being used effectivly.

Everything else looks AWSOME!!! I hope this all makes sense. Once I have clarification on which bullet I should be covering I will get a dreaft out ASAP. So far I understand the TALK, GROUPS, BLOG. I am further investigating the wikithing!!

TTY'all later
