I used LibraryThing for my links. This was because I had some difficulty linking entries to my catalog. I would create the link in my entry but, after a while, the links would not work. Each link would go to a screen that stated my catalog session had expired. It would have been great to link to the catalog. I need to investigate with CLEVNET to see if this is a possibility.
