ONLINE BOOK COMMUNITIES
I examined three online book communities: Booklikes, Goodreads and Librarything
BOOKLIKES
PROS
The appearance of the books actually on the shelf
The different pages that was label with the title of the shelves
The ease to move the books around within the shelves
Able to create a blog
CON
The creator of the shelf is unable to import or export a list from another book community
GOODREADS
PROS
Able to import/export from amazon and LibraryThing
Ratings and reviews of the books
Able to purchase the books from amazon link
Able to create on personal reviews of your bookshelf
LIBRARYTHING
PROS
Able to import/export from online book communities
Ratings and reviews of the books
I enjoyed all three online book communities. The one I enjoy the most was Booklikes. I enjoyed the home page and the view of the books. In addition the ability to create a blog and have interaction with others who share the same passion. The blog allows extra creative with the books and sharing with others.
I would recommend that students try all three sites. I think the students could benefit from working on the Booklikes community because of the creativity of presenting the book through a blog.
