Since I'm a list maker, my favorite part of Shelfari is the simple fact that it's a place to record books I've read and books I want to read in one spot instead of a million post its sticking out of my planner.
Shelfari's social networking feature is super fun. I'm friends with a range of people from my daughter, to kids in my class, and also some Highlands parents and women in my book group. It's fun to see what friends are reading and read their reviews of books.
I have my Shelfari linked to my school web page. Parents can use it to get ideas for books on parenting and school philosophy as well as recommendations for their children.
It's easy to friend people if you just know their e-mail address.
Hi Deb,
ReplyDeleteGreat idea to use Shelfari to build reading lists for parents! Don't know if you know, you can also make reading lists in Follett (Destiny) the new online catalog for the school library. It's super easy and stay from year to year so you don't have to recreate it in the fall.
Happy Summer!
