The LibraryThing for Libraries enhancements are now active in the iBistro library catalog. We have created a LibraryThing web page on the LOGIN web site that explains the service. For now, Bob Wetherall and Ralph Bingham will be moderating the customer reviews.
Some more information from the LTFL website FAQs:
Similar Titles (Recommendations)
Recommendations are based on data collected from the over 41 million books on LibraryThing -- what books members of the site own, how they rate them, and how they tag them. Library cataloging data, including subject headings and call numbers, is also used to improve the recommendations.
Where does the 'other editions' data come from?
All 'other editions' information come from LibraryThing, a book cataloging website. Recommendations come from LibraryThing members who combine different editions (and their ISBNs) to form one work. Combinations can include different editions of the same language, or other languages as well.
