About the LibraryThing

A couple years ago, I tried to build up a library catalog for readings/collection using MS Access. After a while, I gave it up because I cann't access it remotely, in another words, from Internet. Here you are, the LibraryThing, an online personal library catalog. There is no doubt that I like this idea. After playing around with all kinds of tools in this online catalog, I found it quite useful. There is no need to mention those standard fields for the book catalog, but I am really glad to see the fields of date, including Aquired, Started, and Ended, which are helpful to me to track down what I have read. Also the Comments field is good for writing down some notes about the book. Last thing I want to mention is the tag which help on grounp things/books together in a non-traditional way.

By the way, a link to my catalog at the LibraryThing is posted at the top this blog.
