Ellen -
Check out my project, Engaged Readers, at
http://engagedpatrons.org/EngagedReaders.cfm
the only online reading program for public libraries with fully-integrated social \
networking features. Encourage readers not just to record their reading but to \
interact with their peers to find new books they might enjoy. Includes a staff admin \
interface for stats gathering. Oh, and it's free for 85% of public libraries and very \
affordable for the rest (see the website for price info). The service can be accessed \
via smartphone and should be optimized for small screens by summer.

Subject: [WEB4LIB] Online Summer Reading Logs
Good Afternoon -
Slightly off topic. We are ramping up our teen summer reading program and I'd like \
to transition from traditional paper reading logs (which inevitably get lost) to an \
online log, preferably one that can be accessed from a smart phone. Has any other \
library done this? Does anyone have any suggestions how we might implement this? \
I'd love to do something that teens could log into from anywhere but that the library \
could access as well to gather statistics at the end of the summer. Perhaps the \
solution is something like LibraryThing or Good Reads but I wanted to crowd source \
just to make sure someone doesn't have a great idea that I'm missing.
Thanks so much for any assistance.
Best Wishes,
Ellen
