Sneak peek: new and expanded recommendations!

New and expanded recommendations will be coming soon to LibraryThing for Libraries!

We’re demoing this now at ALA (Tim and KJ are set up at booth 1247, stop by), but here’s a sneak peek, showing how similar books can be expanded and broken down to see different types of recommendations, like more by the same author, recommendations by readers, books in a similar genre, recommendations by tag, similar authors, and more.

This is an improvement to our existing similar items recommendations, and will be available for no additional cost to all libraries using similar items (part of the Catalog Enhancement package)! Stay tuned for an official release soon.

    I was at ALA and stopped by the booth! I really enjoyed talking to KJ and Tim, they were soo helpful and I can’t wait to talk to my library about getting involved. Also, a huge thanks to Tim who helped sort out my “limit reached” account. That really made my day!!!!
