I chose to try out Library Thing which allows users to catalog their personal book collection. I chose this tool because I would like to keep an inventory of the books that I own and found some of the features on this site to be even more helpful than just a simple inventory of what I own. For instance, you can access your catalog anywhere and anytime; you can be connected to other people who have similar reading interests/book collections as you do; and you can get recommendations on what to read next based on what you you currently have in your personal book collection.
It was really easy to locate and add the books I own to my catalog after I registered, but I found that the website in general was overwhelming with tons of information that tended to confuse me.
The books I entered are titles I personally own and use for teaching. I really liked how you could tag the books so they could be easily searched for later and grouped together by like topic. Personally, I could also catalog my professional books that I have at home.

Love LibraryThing! I use it to add books I want to read, then just print a list when I go to the library. So helpful!
