My Library

Posted by lirala on October 1, 2008

I had been using LibraryThing to catalog my pagan books.  The problem is that I kept running into the 200 book limit.  If I want more than 200 books in the catalog I have to pay a one time fee.  I’m already doing that for my complete library, so I started hunting around for other options.  I finally found what I was looking for this week.  Gurulib.

Gurulib is a free online library book catalog, but it also allows you to catalog movies, music, games, and software.  It’s quite splendid.  My library is at: http://www.gurulib.com/Lirala You can use the tabs across the top to limit the shelves to books or movies. I haven’t added anything else.  The shelf subjects on the left organize the whole collection into workable subsets–at least I think so.

I really like that I can add things to a wish list.  While searching for the titles of my books to add, I came across many things I wanted to buy.  It was very, VERY handy.

Caveat: If you have more than 1,000 items to catalog, you probably want to use LibraryThing instead.   — Lirala
