Online Book Organization Anonymous Wed Jun 30 17:21:26 2010 No.853842 [Reply] [Original]

/lit/, I am looking to make an organized list of all the books I own. I'd appreciate working with a database that will let me input books by IBSN or exact edition.
It would be great to be able to put them in virtual bookshelves as well, where I could recreate how my books are organized at home.
This will mainly be used to keep track of what books I own, and if the virtual bookcase is possible, where they are on my shelves.

I've heard of LibraryThing but haven't dived into it yet, are there any other options /lit/?

>>	Anonymous Wed Jun 30 17:31:26 2010 No.853892 Other options: Goodreads, Shelfari. I would definitely go with LibraryThing though. The overall atmosphere there is much, much, more mature. And the organization of you catalog is a lot more customizable.

>>	Anonymous Wed Jun 30 17:32:26 2010 No.853894 Shelfari might be what you want. I'm pretty sure you have the ability to make faux shelves and rearrange them.

>>	Croaker !!DDgOIlOdqYI Wed Jun 30 17:33:26 2010 No.853905 Yeah, I use LibraryThing and it's good. Allows you ISBN input, as you want, but not the virtual bookshelves (though I'm not sure anywhere lets you do that).

>>	Anonymous Wed Jun 30 17:34:26 2010 No.853909 There's also Anobii but I'm not sure it will let you do all those things you want.

>>	Anonymous Wed Jun 30 17:35:26 2010 No.853913 >>853905 Profile name on LibraryThing?

>>	Anonymous Wed Jun 30 17:38:26 2010 No.853925 Not OP here, but do you have to have the ISBN to get the right edition on LibraryThing or can you choose through a list to find the edition you own?

>>	Anonymous Wed Jun 30 17:40:26 2010 No.853931 >>853925 You can just type in the title and author and pick editions. This is usually how I do it, since I'm too lazy to type in ISBNs [and have quite a few with no ISBN at all].

>>	Anonymous Wed Jun 30 17:46:26 2010 No.853957 >>853950 Oh, derp. I already know you on there. Didn't know you used a trip though!

>>	Anonymous Wed Jun 30 21:47:26 2010 No.855009 >>853892 I wound up going with LibraryThing as "welovehistory". Thanks for your input on it!
