Lately the most useful way I've found for locating good book discussions is via links from people I follow on social media. There are also social sites specifically for sharing information about the books you own, and connecting with similar book fans. Two of the largest are <a href="https://www.librarything.com/">LibraryThing</a> and <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/">GoodReads</a>. If you'd like to find or publicize face-to-face book discussions in your local area, the <a href="http://www.readerscircle.org/">Reader's Circle</a> website provides a useful listing service. The American Library Association also has <a href="http://libguides.ala.org/bookdiscussiongroups">resources on book discussion groups</a>. <h2>Research and Reference</h2> This site is hosted by the <A HREF="http://www.library.upenn.edu/">University of Pennsylvania Libraries</A>, which have links to many <A HREF="http://www.library.upenn.edu/cgi-bin/res/sr.cgi">resources</A> for online research. Some of the resources listed are not accessible by the general public, but many of them (those marked as "unrestricted access") are open to the world. <hr> <div class="navigation"> <p> <A HREF="index.html">Home</A> -- <A HREF="aboutolbp.html">About Us</A> -- <A HREF="faq.html">FAQ</A> -- <A HREF="getinvolved.html">Get Involved!</A> -- <A HREF="in-progress.html">In Progress / Requested</A> -- <b>More Book Links</b> </p> <p> <A HREF="lists.html">Books</A> -- <A HREF="news.html">News</A> -- <A HREF="features.html">Features</A> -- <A HREF="archives.html">Archives</A> -- <A HREF="inside.html">The Inside Story</A> </p> <p> <i>Edited by John Mark Ockerbloom (onlinebooks@pobox.upenn.edu) <br> <a href="licenses.html">OBP copyrights and licenses</a> </i> </p> </div> </body> </html>
