truepenny: artist's rendering of Sidneyia inexpectans (books)
[personal profile] truepenny
I am, in fact, playing with LibraryThing.

It is a terribly shiny toy.

The only problem I'm having is in trying to get the search feature to cough up the correct edition of a given book (as, for example, oh, say, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy) without having to get up, find the book, and enter the ISBN.

(There's a metric to measure my total dingbat geekiness by. I'm not quite geeky enough to include ISBN numbers in my own private catalogue, but I am geeky enough that I insist on making LibraryThing catalogue the CORRECT edition of a given book.)

I am currently quailing before the morass of results I'm going to get for The Book of Three.

Ai-yi-yi.

Ah well. It's not worth eating unless it's bigger than my head.*

Yes, you can both import in bulk, and export everything to a tab-delimited text or CSV file. Handy, useful, and well designed!

it's under the tab marked "Joy" which gets you to the "extras" page; a Firefox extension, a dashboard widget for Macs, etc. and so on.
