In a recent Rootsweb newsletter, mention was made regarding the LibraryThing.com website. This site allows people to catalogue up to 200 of their books for free--over 200 books require a fee. The use for the ordinary user is so people can share their taste in books. As we well know, genealogists aren't ordinary (LOL) so this beta site gives us another use. We can see what books other researchers have, and share lookups.
I encourage everyone to get a LibraryThing account and list genealogy books you own so we can share what we have. The registration is so simple, all you have to do is make up a username and password--no email address, name, address, etc. is asked. After you have your list, come back and post your list URL in the "reply" section for this entry.
To view the books I've catalogued so far, go to this address: http://www.librarything.com/catalog.php?view=loyhistory
