  Check out https://openlibrary.org. You can search ´library science’, librarian’, etc, and something should come up. Just select the ‘ebooks’ option to search for items within the collection. And you can narrow the search by subject, etc. Source: 7 months ago

• NaNoWriMo: National Novel Writing Month

  Right now I'm in the middle of the chicken and the egg problem where we don't have enough authors cataloging their publications and b/c of that obviously readers are not interested in using the site.

• Library/Catalog/Database Software for Mac?

  Back in the day I used to use Delicious Library, which had a cool interface. Looks like it’s still available but not actively maintained. Never used FileMaker but believe it or not it is still around and being maintained. Source: about 1 year ago

• Does anyone use a database or app to catalog their collection?

  Just saw this Tik Tok by Alec Soth who uses Delicious Library. There’s a few iPhone apps and web based options I’ve come across in a quick google search. Anyone out there use anything?
