Book cataloguing software
I've asked this before, but it was some years ago: what is the best software with which to catalogue a library of books? I wasted a lot of time once with Delicious Library, and I'm not inclined to spend more money finding out whether version 2 is any better.

I'm pissed off with James Jolley's libels and viciousness

Why make all these vicious false allegations about me? Why make up all these lies about me? Why barrage me with vicious i... 25 Jan 2010 06:09

General question - is accessibility information valued here?
Hi, I'm sending this because of the spat in the other thread regarding macsoup's accessibility. Yes, "he" derailed the thread again, but more importantly i'm actually frightened to use the words blind, visually impaired, etc, in case I am excluding other disability groups. In short, i've got no confidence to... 25 Jan 2010 18:31

For example, i don't understand what to do with no delete key on the keyboard. Is this the place to ask such questions? Apolo... 26 Jan 2010 08:44
