I am looking for a program to keep track of my books by author,no money, looking for something free. ld?

Answer 1

www.bibliophil.org will do what you want, I think. It's all online, but you can sort and search your books by several different methods, including author. It's online, not a download program.

There's also Bookie http://www.freedownloadscenter.com/Information_Management/Book_Collection_Managers/Bookie.html. I haven't tried it, so I have no idea how well it works.

Answer 2

I think this is just the site for you. It is called Library Thing, and you can catalog your books online, PLUS:
What is LibraryThing?

Go ahead and take the tour.

Enter what you're reading or your whole library—it's an easy, library-quality catalog. LibraryThing also connects you with people who read the same things.
What's good?

* Searches Amazon, the Library of Congress and 70 other world libraries.
* Get recommendations. Connect to people with similar libraries.
* Tag your books as on Del.icio.us and Flickr (eg., wwii, Victorian, philosophy of science, vampires, theology, dogs).
* Put your books on your blog.
* Export your data. Import from almost anywhere too.
* Enter 200 books for free, as many as you like for $10 (year) or $25 (life).

Check it out

* Go ahead and take the tour.
* Arrange your books on a virtual shelf or as a list.
* See users like sylphette, grbarr1 or wafflehouse.
* Books: Middlesex, The Horse and his Boy, Programming Ruby, Stitch 'N *****, The Structure of Scientific Revolutions, Don't Waste Your Life.
* Check out the LibraryThing blog to see how rapidly it's developing.
* And if the buzz page doesn't convince you, you cannot be convinced. Go away.

Answer 3

I recommend Library Thing online, but I see that someone beat me to it. I've been using it and find it flexible and fun for tracking my personal library.

Answer 4

If you have Microsoft Access on your computer you can use that to create databases. I know of no free program.

Answer 5

There's a good program at http://www.spacejock.com/BookDB.html .
