Introduction to Booklists & Bookshelves
Booklists and Bookshelves are the core of ChiliPAC.
What is the difference between Booklist and a Bookshelf?
There are only 3 pre-set kinds of Bookshelves:
Completed - for items that you have completed reading
In progress - for items that you are reading currently
For later - for your wishlist items that you are planning to read
and you can add only items from your library's catalog. By default bookshelves are private, but you can choose to share your boookshelves with others and get a permanent URL for that, e.g., https://borrow.bklynlibrary.org/bookshelf/4dpLz
On the other hand Booklists:
you can create as many booklists as you wish - one for different purpose, or one for different user to advise
you can add also other online items to your booklists - such as articles, websites, and other e-resources
you can add description of the booklist and annotations of items on your booklists
Booklists also can be private or public, you can read more about them here.
