Scholarly Life of a Committed Technofile

LibraryThing (http://www.librarything.com/) is an online databasing tool for people who like to read and/or own a lot of books. It has a few tools that might help you find some more resources, especially books, on your topic. Go to the librarything homepage and wonder through the following tags:

• Book Suggestions—This just allows you to type in the name of a book that you may have already found (even if you just found the name). If the name pops up, click on it. You will then get a great listing of resources like:
  • People with this book also have
  • Books with similarly library and subject classifications
  • Books with similar tags
• Zeitgeist—This section is basically the statistics section of the database. Check out one or more of the various categories.
  
• Groups—See if there is a group related to your topic, even if it is only tangentially. If you take a few minutes to skim their materials, you may find something useful.
• Talk—This section shows the more popular, or active, discussion board threads at the site. You may find something interesting.
