LibraryThing is a web based application for creating an on-line catalog for your home library. Your catalog can feature cover art and your own meta-data in the form of tags. LibraryThing can direct you to catalogs of users with similar collections for browsing or you can search the entire database at once for a title or author. LibraryThing also features discussion groups (including 'librarians who LibraryThing'), a suggester/unsuggester for reader guidance, and book reviews by users. This is a fantastic social networking and reader awareness resource. A basic LibraryThing account is free. Here's my catalog.
