Long Beach Public Library has a completely new online catalog called Encore. It shows book covers so, if you've reached that age as I have where you can only remember a book by its cover, you can recall whether you've read the thing before or not. You can also leave reviews, add to tag clouds, or just rate books. You can search databases for articles at the same time as you search for books. It's a definite step up from the old online catalog. LBPL also has a library Facebook page, so if you want to socialize with library types, that's the place to go.Sunday, July 26, 2009
