My Library

The Librarian's Tools

I notice several people have ended up here because I accidentally achieved a very high placement for «Librarian's Tools» with this page. I hope what you find here is enjoyable enough to make it worth the detour. These are the tools I used in setting up this, My (virtual) Library. Check the Google links in the side menu and you might find something in the way of real world library tools.

Book Database Software:
LibraryThing (Website for cataloging books)

EndNote (Desktop cataloging software)

WordPress

WordPress Plugins:

WP-Amazon
WP-Contact Form
Semiologics Subscribe Me
CG-Powerpack
ESF 1.0 Feed
PhotoPress - Installed but not yet used
Google Sitemaps Generator
Block Lists Anti-Spam Measures
Kittens Spaminator
Adsense - Installed not yet used

Theme:
The theme is Triplets Identification Bands by neuro with very minor modifications.

Projects:

Modify WP-Amazon to include the <div> to position the books picture whenever I select the medium image link. This is done, but I did it by creating a class called «alignright» associated with <img> tags instead of a <div>.

Modify colors to distinguish from RealShelf and more closely match Tom Rants. This is done. The grey matches the home page a little better than the old light blue.

Build a plugin to automatically get the information from the Library of Congress search for the Catalog Cards.
