Using what for time? When I retire, maybe.
I'm also a LibraryThing fan, though I did maybe two batches of books
a while ago and haven't gotten back to it.
The great thing about it is that it DOESN'T take much time because
you don't have to enter ALL the information on 99% of the books. It
will look them up for you! All I've needed to type in is the titles,
and it pulls them right up.
I do plan to back up the list on my own computer once it bears some
resemblance to my actual library -- I haven't been systematic about
it. It sounds like it will be in a format that I'll be able to import
into FileMaker (or MS Access) so I'll have my own database.
Since I hate having to look up and type ALL the information about a
book every @#$%! time I cite it, this site is _wonderful_.
