For just less than a year I've been using Delicious Library to catalogue my books and it's really wonderful. If you use a Mac and love books, this is definitely the software for you. Recently, thanks to my friend Johnny Ramirez, I was introduced to a small (free) program that will make a webpage out of your Delicious Library catalogue. It's called DeliciWeb and you can download it here. It takes a while if you have a lot of books in your library, but it does make your library available for others to look at online.
You can connect to my library by clicking here. There are some 560 book in there, so it will take a bit to load. There's a link to request to borrow a book which sends an email to the owner of the library. It's not perfect. As best I can tell it's listing my books in random order in spite of the fact that I've check the "sort by author's name" checkbox in the Preferences. If anyone has any tips I'm all ears!
So are you really going to loan out your books? You are a better man than me!

Well, I do loan them out locally, but I'm not mailing them to Georgia! Sorry! :)

yeah, I try not to borrow books...you can't mark-up a borrowed book, so I won't be sending out any requests for books from Cali.
