Re: [LM_NET] LibraryThing and videos

[Thomas Kaun <tomkaun@GMAIL.COM>]

Hi, Diana.
I assume that since LibraryThing was originally set up for books, they don't
have much in the way of videos in their "database." I just add videos when I
need to, as a manual entry which seems easy enough especially as you don't
have to do much entry with the other items. You do add tags, don't you?
Perhaps, as more videos are added, it will become easier to find records for
them.
No comment on the fact that the district isn't supporting the library
program with an automation system. ;<)
