My Library is your virtual bookshelf. This application allows you add titles from any genre and type (e.g. textbooks or fiction) and catalog them in an orderly fashion. It is a great tool to help you keep an eye on titles that interest you; whether you are considering them for course use, using it for research purposes, or simply for general interest.
There is no limit to the number of books, links, reviews or resources you can have in your library. In addition you library allows you to append links and comments to each book, such as a course syllabus.
Finally your library can be set as public or private. A private library will only be accessible by you. By setting your library to public, you are allowing other members to view what’s inside your library. People viewing your library will never have access to any personal or contact information.

We recommend you keep your library public, with facilitate colleague collaboration, as we certainly recommend you keep your library public. Remember your name or contact information will never be visible to anyone.
