Re: [IUG] LibraryThing

We are currently using the LibraryThing "tag cloud" and "similar books" widgets and have been very happy with both.  I cannot rave enough about their customer service.  We have asked them to make countless changes to the way our tag cloud displays, all of which they quickly and happily made.  After doing the free trial we decided to give it at least a year to see how the students like them.  We are still tweaking how we will have them appear:

Janet,

We are still doing a trial of this. I think it looks quite good. At the moment our usage is quite low, but I have recently repositioned the output and I am hoping that this will improve.
