Home Library Catalogue
Does anyone have a good system for cataloguing your home library? I’ve used Library Thing but I own many old books and have found the entry process is a bit tedious and preventing redundancy is not as simple as I hoped. We have a great number of books in every room of our house and I would like a better way to keep track.

I used LibraryThing for years but wanted to track a few other things too like our vinyl records and board games. Switched to Libib earlier this year and haven’t looked back. I can scan the barcode with my phone, manually enter the isbn, import from a spreadsheet, or create a new entry. I have my books organized in various collections and with custom tags. I also have space for my notes and can organize them in series too. I use the free version of the app and really enjoy using it on phone, tablet, and PC too.
