goodreads

I posted this on the general Staff News blog, but I think it's worth mentioning that Goodreads is an excellent reader's advisory tool.  How often do we get patrons who ask us what books they last read and we can't tell them (unless there was a late fee associated with it)?  It's far from perfect when it comes to the read-alike recommendations, but it does add value with customized newsletters featuring your favorite authors (based on your reviews & ratings of read books) AND access to free webinars where you can chat with your favorite authors.
