LibraryThing, if you aren't familiar with it, is a social site that allows you to catalog your personal library online. If you pay a very reasonable fee you cal list as many books as you want. I've put most of my collection up, although this often results in piles of unregistered books sitting on my shelves in distinct places. Needless to say, I must catalog them soon or else I may be buried in a avalanche.
My current great idea for putting my LibraryThing to use is that as I pack my books to move, I can tag them all as packed as I do it, and then make sure everyone makes it through the move okay. Will this realistically happen? Probably not, because I have a bunch of books, and it would take time to tag them all for a basically foolish reason. However, what it also offers is the chance to designate between all the books I own, and all the books that moved into an apartment of undetermined size, and those which continue to live in my parent's basement.
But, we'll see.
