Online book catalogs...

I use "LibraryThing" LibraryThing | Catalog your books online | LibraryThing to catalog my books. One cheat I like is the ability to import an entry from another user into my page. Been using it for years, never a problem. And I have no financial interest in the site.

Cheers Opana. Is there a way to make all or some of your list private?

 

Yeah, just flag 'em "Private, bitch, so bleep off." Or something like that, anyway.

 

Oh, there's a small fee ($25 or so) for over 100. I've already paid that. /hint

And you can enter the UIC code number and the software will fill in the blanks.

 

Hey Opana, is that a one time $25 fee, or $25 annually?

 

Just the one time when I paid it. Consult the admin there for current practices.

Lots of room, my wife listed 800+ books on her page.

 

Very reasonable, and very useful.

 

Boss Lady is a bibliomaniac. She found that site for me.

 

When I showed this site to my wife I didn't hear a peep out of her for three days.

There might have been a downside as well, didn't see one.

 

On a related note, I'm assembling my collection of books along with a physical card catalog. I'm currently deciding between dewy decimal and Library of Congress. The more I research the more I'm leaning toward Dewey.

 

Defo Congressional. Stay current.

 

I don't know of Librarything pulls the info when you enter the Dewey #. I've been using Congressional since the late '80s. ALL the university libraries I used to visit were Congressional.
