If you haven't had a chance to see LibraryThing yet, you really must. The cool thing about this site is that you have the ability to catalog an entire library, hold book discussions on any number of books, and see what everyone else in the world is reading.
I'm in the process of putting up Northwest LSA's library management collection. Here's a link to the titles on NWILS LibraryThing page right now. I love the book cover view, but you can search the whole collection much the same way as you do in the library: title, author, subject. You'll see we have quite a collection available and encourage you to use NWILS library science collection--it's all there for you to borrow!
You can become a thingamabrarian yourself when you sign up for LibraryThing and catalog your own collection (how about just the books you have in your own personal library!) Other virtual library catalogs out there now are shelfari and Goodreads; they're both similar to LibraryThing, but I don't have much experience with those. Have some fun exploring all 3. To find out even more about these 3 websites, check out this article by Mark Flanagan Book Clubs in the Ethereal World.
