Library Thing
LibraryThing is an online tool to catalog your personal library. Members add books to their catalog by entering titles, authors, or ISBNs. LibraryThing then searches the Library of Congress, all five national Amazon sites, and over 690 world libraries, and returns with precise book data. Members can then edit the books in their catalog, tag their books with their own subjects, and use the Library of Congress and Dewey Decimal systems to organize their collections..It’s also a vibrant community of readers, connecting people with similar libraries. Book recommendations are based on the collective intelligence of all members’ libraries.
