Re: books read on index cards

["Patricia P. Semple" <semple@WELL.COM>]

Regarding the recent conversations about having a list of recommended books
at the ready in the media center, and with the permission of Peter Milbury:

There is software out there that will allow students and teachers to create
electronic forums where they can post comments about books they read.  The
one I am thinking about comes on a Mac diskette and functions sort of like a
news group or electronic bulletin board.  Books can be sorted by author,
title, illustrator, date, and genre, and students/library media
specialists/teachers can use the forum to select a book or to comment on
various aspects of the literature -- everything from the basic plot line or
favorite passages to significant themes.

If you are interested, please respond to me and I can direct you to a review
of this product.
