Investigative Exercise 6: Social Bookmarking

Reviews help you work out whether a book you're interested in might be worth reading. Most booksellers have review sections on their websites- why not libraries? Many times I've borrowed a book that, from the blurb alone, seemed pretty good- only to run across something I'm uncomfortable with three chapters in and have to return it. Reviews save you time, and they're a good way of gathering information about a resource. They're also a good way for libraries to track the popularity of items and genres and make decisions about the collection.

P.S. Yes, Kogarah library does allow me to rate and review items in their catalogue.
