*Cataloguing your own books
I don't know if any of you are as sad as me, but I have longed to catalogue my personal books, but could never be bothered creating an Access database, or anything similar. Nowadays, there are several websites available that have done a lot of the hard work for you so all you have to do is import the relevant record for each of your books to make a collection.

The site I use is [|librarything], but there are others available, for example, [|shelfari].

*Book exchange sites
Another interesting site is [|bookmooch] where you can arrange to exchange your books for other books that you are interested in. [|Bookcrossing] was the first exchange site I encountered and is worth a look.

I'm sure there are other sites out there, but as I haven't tried them I won't mention them here. If you have experience of any similar sites please contribute to this wiki page.
