Yes - I think Goodreads and LibraryThing could be effective readers advisory tools.
I checked out all 3 sites and really like the Goodreads site the best. I like that I can keep track of what I read, and that I can get infomation about books I didn't know about on it. I really enjoyed the discussion groups the best.
In my opinion, Library staff might use it to find out about books they wouldn't normally have been exposed to. This could make their reading habits more eclectic and give them more information for recommended reading to customers.

Beyond Method #4
I searched Texasjobs.com, Simply Hired and hound.com. Simply Hired was the most user friendly for me to use, Texasjobs.com homepage was to detailed. If I were not computer literate I would need help with these sites.
I looked at the Goodwill Community Foundation’s Computer Basics page. I think this would be helpful for patrons in learning to use the computers.
We are an academic library, so most users are not job seekers. If asked though we would be able to give them directional help and supply them with information and resouces available at our library.
