LibraryThing or Goodreads could be valuable readers' advisory tools for the right target group of patrons, but I don't think these resources would automatically appeal to all patrons. Searching the sites to find similar books or book recommendations could be time consuming, and would require users to be comfortable using a computer. In terms of comparing the two sites, I actually found LibraryThing easier to navigate. I quickly found lists of recommendations after searching for a specific title, but I never felt like I found the same extent of information on Goodreads. LibraryThing also seemed to present fewer ads, which I appreciated.
