Library Thing

Courtesy of [livejournal.com profile] rillaith, a free online tool to store catalogues of your books and organise them by folksonomic tags. It has some very nifty features indeed, such as grabbing the Library of Congress data for the book you give it.

It gives you 200 books for free, and a small payment gets you a lifetime subscription for unlimited books whilst it's in beta. I've started putting my nonfiction and reference books in, the fiction can look after themselves for now.

http://www.librarything.com/ is the main URL, and http://www.librarything.com/catalog.php?view=ravenmagic&sort=unique is my catalogue (or catalog, as they insist on calling it).

I wondered whether there was a point, and decided it was two-fold - first, I get to show off some of the odder things in my collection, not that it's -that- abstruse, and second, it lets me reorganise it online by tag, and look at slices of it in new ways.
