Good reads

Been using Goodreads for a while now - found it useful to keep track of books for my Open Polytech course - but then I also use Google books for that.  Once again, if I am asked I will talk about the many sites people can use for their own reading lists, it's not something I would raise with them.  I don't use it from a library staff point of view, and probably never would.  Although we now have access to the internet from generic log ins it is still a major and I tend to show customers www.fantastic fiction.co.uk as it is useful to help with readers advisory stuff.  And the OPAC is good for that as well.  Once again, if people want to use it then they will - and the ones who would use it probably already know about it.
