LibraryThing Update

LibraryThing has been up and running for a several weeks now without any problems. The features are being used in 4-5% of patron visits, which runs a little above the average for catalogs offering these features. We're still looking into a way to get the features to show consistently in the public OPACs- because of the restrictions required to shut the features down in the DTCC catalogs, they will only show in pages with a particular format of root URL, which is not how a number of public OPACs are set up.
Let me know if you have any feedback from patrons about the new features. In collaboration with the staff at South Coastal Library, there is a new brochure available at the consortium homepage. If you have a duplex printer you can print it out as a trifold, but we placed almost all of the actual info on one side of the page, so it can also be printed out as a simple one-page info sheet.
