Exploring Alternatives to Goodreads

Tuesday, June 24 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm EDT

Collection Development

You may have heard of Goodreads, the popular social book-sharing site now owned by Amazon, where you can track your reading with others. But did you know there are several other alternatives out there? Maybe you’re looking to switch over to something that offers a cleaner interface, different features, or maybe you’d like just to see what your options are.

Come join this session where we will explore:
* The benefits of using book-tracking sites and what advantages they offer to readers
* A deeper look into Storygraph, the most popular competitor to Goodreads
* Other alternative options available for both mobile and desktop platform with a mix of social features
* How to migrate your information over from Goodreads if you are an existing user
