[Web4lib] new book list script

[Deb Bergeron]

Robert,

Help me out here.  I'm investigating LibraryThing for Libraries.  My 
understanding is there are two products: LibraryThing and LibraryThing 
for Libraries.  With LibraryThing the max number is 5000 isbn's and no 
limit for LibraryThing for Libraries (Danbury is using this). Am I 
understanding this correctly?

Thanks

deb
