Announcement: saving books as well as online articles in Diigo now - 40 views

  In the two years we've been working on a bibliography of manga studies, we've always saved books in LibraryThing and articles and other online material using social bookmarking services (first Furl, now Diigo). We never found a single service that could handle both books and articles/random online stuff the way we wanted it to.
  
  But since keeping the bibliography split in two causes more confusion than it solves, we've decided to throw the books into Diigo as well. We won't get rid of LibraryThing, but anything saved there goes into Diigo as well so that all items are searchable in one place. What we save in Diigo is the LibraryThing details page of each book, so clicking through or doing a full-text search of the Diigo bookmarks will turn up full bibliographic information.
  
  Expect some three hundred new records in the next few days as we migrate the items already in the LibraryThing account. All helpfully tagged 'books' ;)
