Patron Reviews
9:32 AM EDT 5/11/07
I've been exploring ways to allow patrons to comment on the books they are reading. I would like this to somehow link with the bibliographic record from our circ system. This is not a feature our vendor, Auto-Graphics, provides. One suggestion is to include an 856 url to a blog. Another would be to just post a review to a blog. I like the idea of going from the catalog to a review as a patron looking at the title could then link and see what others thought of the book. With a strictly blog posting they would need to be at the blog to see the review. Another thought was to do some type of star system with 1 to 5 stars rating the book.
I have always thought we should be able to do things as well as amazon. I frequently look at amazon to see what people are saying about a book. I know we can submit our reviews to worldcat but my patrons are not using this site. They use amazon. I would like them to have a review see a review from a community member and a local experience.
Is anyone providing this type of service and if so, how?
