Website of the Day – GuruLib.com

Saturday, June 14th, 2008

The last post I wrote mentioned a website called LibraryThing.com which helps you organize all your books online. It had a lot of interesting functions, but I recently came across a very similar website that may be better. GuruLib.com also allows you to organize your collection of books online, but has more of a web2.0 feel to it. You are able to drag and drop things, label them with tags, add them to “Shelves.” You can even import a list of books from a spreadsheet and it will automatically find them.

One of the most impressive features, was the option to view your books in a “cover view” style, an obvious takeaway from the iPhone, but impressive nonetheless. Below is a screenshot of that view.

Like LibraryThing.com, GuruLib.com draws its information from Amazon and other places so you can easily find your books. Both of the sites offer a great way to organize and catalog your books.

Know of any other websites that might be interesting to readers? Share them with us by adding them to the comments.
