I'm near the end of cataloguing my collection at the moment. I use an app called iCody to read the barcodes on the back (if they have them) then email them to myself and then import them as a text file into a program from Collectorz.com It takes the ISBN numbers that are linked to the barcodes and downloads info about the book from their database. Doesn't work for all books, some I have to hand enter, but its made it a bit easier. Found a couple of double ups that way...
But I've just moved and while I let some books go before I moved (donated to charity sales) I still have some culling to do, however, if only to make room for new ones to arrive! The move has helped me bring them all together, they were getting spread around where ever I could find space in last house, and out of sight became out of mind. I don't think there is anything wrong with keeping some older books for sentimental reasons, such as my favourite books from childhood, but some things have sadly passed a use-by date of usefulness.
