<p class="MsoNormal">I feel fairly certain this would be a pretty massive project to come up with a way to determine recommendations and may or may not be worth the time and development expense since there are third party vendors that already do similar things
as part of their core business. Syndetics and NoveList added content will both provide recommendations at the title or author level (ie, you look up a book you liked and it will recommend others that are available to you through the library), and then there
are other companies that can generate recommendations based on personal reading history - that is going to depend on providing them with a certain amount of user data though, and that gets really tricky with patron confidentiality.

<p class="MsoNormal">Of course, users can also download their reading history as a CSV file and upload it to GoodReads themselves if they are somewhat savvy - this could probably made easier with a relatively small development project to allow patrons to export
their booklist in a format that was specifically compatible to goodreads so they wouldn't have to do any editing to it (unless they wanted to) after they downloaded it.

<p class="MsoNormal">I'm a cataloger, not a programmer so I don't know how reasonable (or possible) this is. But ever since I first heard about the idea of carousels, I've dreamed of being able to log into my patron account and have a netflix style recommendation carousel
hooked on to an algorithm that suggests items based on the 1xx, 6xx and 7xx marc fields of items you've recently checked out. What would be the possibility of such a feature, and what kind of hurdles would have to be jumped to do this?
