I'm amazed at how many sites there are that are similar to Shelfari. On Facebook, there is the Visual Bookshelf, plus many others, that will post information about what you're reading and what you like on your wall so others can see it. This would be great for a library with a Facebook page to use. Great for book reviews!
I've also been looking at LibraryThing. I first found this when I was looking at the Adelson Library website. Mrs. Douglas attaches her LibraryThing account to her website so students can see and search the books that she's read. I think this is an interesting idea. Perhaps I'll use Shelfari for all of my reading, while I use LibraryThing specifically as a tool for our media center. We'll give it a try!
Happy reading!
