Nelson Public Libraries have purchased a public catalogue enhancement called LibraryThing

This add-on software works together with the Libraries' current catalogue. You can surf to Nelson Public catalogue and search for your favourite authors or subjects and explore a great portion of new add-on information and new content e.g.:

• book recommendations
• related editions
• tag clouds
• read book reviews or write your own straight away

Nelson Public Libraries have become the first library in New Zealand running this social online product, helping their borrowers to get the best available information from the online catalogue. See LibraryThing in action!

Have a look here for a screenshot of what you can expect to see.
