After talking about LibraryThing to a few people at CIL, I decided to take the plunge and get the lifetime membership. I’ve just set it to the task of importing the list of my books that have ISBNs. (I’ve got an Access database of my complete fiction collection.) The import list is 2,963 books long. I guess I’m doing my part to add to the LibraryThing database. (Just to put this in perspective, as crazy as that perspective is, my import list does not include my non-fiction, nor the aproximately 1000 books that are old enough to not have ISBNs.) You can access my catalog at http://www.librarything.com/catalog/travelinlibrarian where an RSS feed is also available.
