Awhile back I purchased some software for my computer called "Book Collection" which does everything I would need it to do and more. I found the process to be somewhat tedious in entering books (even though it does connect to the internet and download the information off of the ISBN#). However, a friend showed me an online Collection- It's Called Library Thing. YOu can see and search my personal library on the left column of my Blog. Although Book Collection lets you download multiple books at once, Library Thing is very quick and I have found it to be much more sutible for my needs. It is Free upto 200 books. Since my library is quite a bit larger than that I will probably purchase the life membership. The book information can be exported out to other databases, but I'm not sure that I will ever need to do that. The one feature that it does lack, which I have not come across yet, is the abiltity to "check out" books from your personal library.
Overall, I am very pleased with Library THing. Here I can access my personal library form anywhere. It also compares my library with other people who have simliar libaries.
Check it out!

Thanks for the tip. I've just encouraged my daughter to run with this.
