A while ago, I started entering all my book info into this wiki. However, I later discovered LibraryThing. LibraryThing.com is cool site that lets you quickly enter all your books, and creates a [http://www.librarything.com/catalog.php?view=freephile graphical bookshelf]. Pretty neat.

== 2024 Update ==I found a [[Wikidata]] related project called '''[https://inventaire.io/welcome Inventaire] ''' which does sorta the same thing as LibraryThing, but in the [[fediverse ]] with [[open data]]. The Inventaire project uses [[MediaWiki ]] software for their knowledgebase at https://wiki.inventaire.io/wiki/Main_Page <ref>https://github.com/inventaire/inventaire-mediawiki</ref>, and you can import your LibraryThing data into Inventaire <ref>https://wiki.inventaire.io/wiki/How_to_add_a_book_to_my_inventory</ref> == ISBN ==ISBN (and PubMed PMID and IEEE RFC) links used to be automatically linked by MediaWiki software, but now you have to explicitly enable them as magic links <ref>https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Magic_links</ref>and also setup a Project namespace page like [[wp:Book sources]] <ref>https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:ISBN</ref> The 'process'<re>https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/Future_of_magic_links</ref> to remove the feature was controversial, but pushed through anyway.
