When you walk into a library, you can see just how easy it is to find the things you're looking for. All you need to do is to go over to a computer terminal, type in your query and then find the number or the author's name by which to search. But your bookshelf at home probably isn't that accessible. However, if you want to make your bookshelf more user friendly, you will want to look into book library software as a way to be your own personal librarian.

With book library software, you can do a number of things. To start off, you will simply install the software onto your computer and begin to input your books. This will be the lengthiest part of the process, with the time depending on the number of books you need to enter. Once you have entered in your books, you will see that a great deal of data is entered in the spreadsheet as well. You will see that the plot summary is there, reviews, and even book cover illustrations are visible. This system works much like the digital mp3s you might download from sites, and this system is just as user friendly.

Once you have your books assembled on the 'shelf,' you can then arrange your books in any way you see fit. This will help you to easily sort the books you already own into categories which make sense to you. Some people like to sort by authors, while others like to sort by genres or by series names. What's even more helpful about book library software is that you can change the way you arrange your books as many times as you like. This way, you will be able to personalize your personal library as often as you like, depending on your mood and on your needs at the time.

Many book library software programs will also allow you to create easy to access lists for the books you own. This way, you can share your books with others, without having to ship them to them or to try to remember what you have on hand. This will help especially if you are thinking about selling off any books as a used bookseller. Or you can simply have an extra copy of your book list as a spreadsheet document that can be saved on your computer.

You might also want to create a box of text in your book library software spreadsheet that will allow you to keep track of who might have borrowed a book from you, as many people who love books know others who love books too. This way, your book collection is always organized and within your grasp, even if one book is with a friend  at least you know where it is.

With book library software, you don't have to have shelves of books you don't remember, you can keep track of what you own and what you still want to purchase in the future.
