GetGlue and LibraryThing got me thinking about how we could make the library an even neater place if we could somehow integrate these services into what we do. Imagine going into a library and heading for the catalog. You start your search and because of LibraryThing you can read other library members thoughts on that item. The stack map then will help you locate what you’re looking for. Imagine if we took that a step further and GetGlue made a product called GetGlue for Libraries. Members could opt in to the program and check in to what they’re checking out at the library. Library stickers could be unlocked and shared. Even better yet, the conversation and recommendation part of GetGlue could make the entire library experience even more social and community driven.
Now you’re not just borrowing stuff, but you’re talking about it with your community as well.
