Syndetics Unbound offers the most comprehensive cover database in existence for libraries — over 50 million full-color cover images for books, videos, DVDs, and CDs, with thousands of new covers added every week. If a cover is missing for an item, Syndetics Unbound automatically generates a cover using the title, author, and media type.
Navigation links enable users to jump directly to the enrichment that they are interested in.
Over 43 million summaries and annotations, covering fiction, non-fiction, trade and scholarly titles, books, music, movies, video games and more. Thousands of summaries are added each week.
This section includes the author biography and a shelf of other items by the author. The section is also adorned by a small author photo — a first in the catalog, although familiar elsewhere on the web.
Includes three previous Syndetics enrichments — first chapters or excerpts, table of contents, and large-size covers — newly presented as a "peek inside the book" feature.
Shows a book's series, including reading order. If the library is missing part of the series, those covers are shown but grayed out.
Provides sharp, on-the-spot readers advisory in your catalog, with the option to browse a larger world of suggestions, drawn from LibraryThing members and big-data algorithms. In this and other enrichments, Syndetics Unbound only recommends items that your library owns.
The Syndetics Unbound recommendations cover far more of your collection than any similar service. For example, statistics from the Hartford Public Library show this feature on 88% of items viewed.
Includes more than 6.4 million reviews from Library Journal, School Library Journal, New York Times, The Guardian, The Horn Book, BookList, BookSeller + Publisher Magazine, Choice, Publisher's Weekly, and Kirkus. A la carte review sources include Voice of Youth Advocates: VOYA, Doody's Medical Reviews, and Quill and Quire.
Includes more than 2.2 million vetted, reader reviews from LibraryThing members. It also allows patrons and librarians to add their own ratings and reviews, right in your catalog, and then showcase them on a library's home page and social media.
Help Patrons find other available formats and versions of a title in your collection, including paper, audio, ebook, and translations.
The Tags element updates LibraryThing's celebrated tag clouds — redesigning them toward simplicity and consistency. Based on over 184 million tags created by LibraryThing members, tags are hand-vetted by our staff librarians for quality. A new exploration interface allows patrons to combine and filter tags, to focus in on the genres, subjects, and other categories they want most.

Highlights the awards a title has won, and helps patrons find highly-awarded books in your collection. Includes well-known awards, like the National Book Award and the Booker Prize, but also smaller awards like the Bram Stoker Award and Oklahoma's Sequoyah Book Award.
Gives your patrons the context and serendipity of browsing a physical shelf, using your call numbers. Includes a mini shelf-browser that sits on your detail pages, and a full-screen version, launched from the detail page.

Altmetric badges show how often journal articles and other scholarly outputs like datasets are discussed and used around the world. Every badge links through to an automatically generated Altmetric details page, which provides a collated record of all of the original mentions of the book (and individual chapters where possible).
