New readers catalogue for PUK Library



I've created a new account on LibraryThing to show the PUK Library collection of graded readers, leveled readers, and other readers for students. The account is pukreaders, and you can see the collection here, or navigate there from the WinK People group (click on "_____ members" from the group homepage). I recommend that you make pukreaders a friend, or monitor the pukreaders collection.

Although there are at present 1866 books in the collection, it is not complete yet, and I will continue to add covers and to tag all the books. Please check out the tag cloud.

Note that you need to log in to LibraryThing to use some features.

Some LibraryThing developments

If you visit my catalogue in LibraryThing, you should see something like this near the top of the window.

If you click on "use it", the display should change to one showing book covers on the left. More interestingly, there is a Google Books column on the right. If you click on Book info for a book, for example for Abadeha, you'll see a screen like this:

This gives you access to much more information about the book, including where to buy it, reviews, and sometimes even the opportunity to read a few pages of the book.

You can set the view that you want visitors to your LibraryThing catalogue to see by clicking on the pen icon in the top left of your catalogue:


You can customize all your displays if you wish,

but I recommend focusing on these two options near the bottom of the screen:
