Computer programs for oragnising your personal library (hard copies)

[aravinda]

Has anyone used any computer programs to organise their books ?
I’m looking for a good program (ideally one that is free) for macOS but please feel free to include programs that run on other OSs for the benefit of others. My main requirement is that it should have the capability of getting all relevant details from databases when I provide the ISBN, so that I don't have to manually enter all the information.

EDIT: Actually, I'm not vey keen about organising ebooks.

I feel like Goodreads and Calibre could both work. Calibre is used for ebooks, but you can just load in the books as an empty document you have by title, and then organize it like you would an ebook. Can search and download metadata for you by ISBN, too.

I haven't and don't use such a program, but I remember (not free) Delicious Library getting a lot of press some years ago.

I use three free programs: Goodreads, Calibre and Zotero.

Goodreads is web-based and makes it easy to add books. It serves primarily as a social media platform for book readers/lovers, but can be used to track books.

Calibre is software that is intended primarily for maintaining ebooks. However as said above it can be used to track hard copy book information.

Zotero is research based software that tracks books and other sources.

I agree with everyone else that Goodreads is the most popular and the one that I use. However, another one that you might find interesting is https://www.libib.com. It tracks your personal library for books, music, etc.
