Beyond Method #5

I signed up for Goodreads.  It is a nice tool.  I think that using Goodreads and/or LibraryThing as readers advisory tool would work, but it would require staff time to add a sufficent number of book titles in order for it to be an effective reader's advisory tool.  Some of our patrons would like one of the services for their own perosnal bookshelf  to keep track of what books and authors they have read.  When I browsed different libraries using Goodreads, I noticed that many of the libraries use Goodreads for their book clubs.  "What Should I Read Next" was disapointing.  Some of the suggestions did not seem at all related to the title I searched.
