Wow! Goodreads is by far to me an amazing Reader's Advisory tool!! I mean it has everything from book lists, new titles, to even online book clubs. We can even read about what new authors review!! I thought that was really awesome. I'm pretty sure even most customers would think Goodreads is an amazing find with all these useful lists of new titles and book clubs literally at their fingertips!!
I don't know why library staff who already know of this aren't promoting it already. It's such an amazing tool. I mean once you've taken the tour and maybe signed up and made your own bookshelves etc, then showing it to customers would be the next obvious step. Not only would it give them access to all that Goodreads ha to offer but it would help them keep posted with all the latest literary happenings so to speak.
I would most definitely promote Goodreads to customers who I think will benefit from it. It is such a great readers advisory tool and an amazing website. What's not to like!!!

I heart GoodReads! Have been a member for a while now and it's led me to finding some great books (and emailing back and forth with some great authors). You're right, we probably should promote it a bit more in house :) I'm glad you enjoyed the site so much. Congratulations - you've completed week 4!
