Discover My Discoveries!

Have you checked out one of newest things in our catalog?  It's called My Discoveries and it's all about you!  You can now review, rate, tag, and create lists for books and other materials in the catalog.  If you noticed that reviews are gone from the Express It page, it's because of My Discoveries -- which is SO MUCH BETTER for reviewing, etc.  Trust me, once you start using My Discoveries -- you won't want to go back to anything else!

What's my favorite thing to do with My Discoveries?  I LOVE being able to create private lists of items that I want to eventually checkout or request.  For example, let's say I already have five DVDs on request, but I know there are more movies I'd eventually like to request.  I simply add them to my "to watch" list and as space frees up on my card -- I take DVDs from this list and move them over to my request list.

I also enjoy the tagging feature -- I really like seeing how other people tag stuff.  The most hilarious and abundant example is for Twilight.  Some of the tags for this book are pure comedy gold:

• awesomeness (haha!)
• baseball (that one small scene in the book warrants this tag???)
• dumb (obviously a different opinion than whoever tagged the book "awesomeness")
• klutz (a nod to Bella's clumsy ways, I'm sure)

...and the list goes on & on.

So, what are you waiting for?  Head over to the catalog and set up your My Discoveries account today -- start adding even more crazy tags to Twilight or any other book.  Go crazy with list making, write a ton of reviews.  Do whatever you want!  Remember it's all about you and your discoveries.  Enjoy!
