GuruLib, Home Library Organizer

If you have a ton of books, movies, etc this is a free way to organize them online. It looks like they do have ways to privatize your lists but I have not used it personally. I have a ton of books and would love to have them organized so I can find things right away. It even has a digital bookshelf organizer so you can say exactly where your books should be...that is if the kids don't come and read them! -_Tabbi
