Alice from the It's All Good blog reports that WorldCat.org has added a new list-making functionality. She also offers some great suggestions for how to use this feature.
It took me a little while to figure out how to use this. You need a free account to create lists, and it helps if you are already logged in when you run your search. It also helps if you create a list first and then add items to it. Once you create a new list, use the the search box to find items. In your list of search results, you will have a dropdown menu to choose to save it to any list you have created or the Things I Recommend, Things I Own, or Things to Check Out lists that are already created for you.
I did a quick search of other lists (Search > Lists) and found these ideas:
- children's books (I bet you could have lists for grade/age levels or certain themes/topics)
- favorite authors
- books read recently
- books to read soon
You can also search for people who have created profiles under Search > Contacts.
Anyone have suggestions for how to use this list feature?
