Alexandria
 Alexandria is a
simple GNOME
application designed to enable individuals to keep a
catalogue of their book collection.
This software makes it easy to manage your collection by
allowing you to
sort items into multiple libraries (for example, books at your office,
in your home, or elsewhere), and adding books is as simple as entering
its
ISBN. The software also enables users to keep track of books which
are on loan.
Alexandria is written in Ruby, and is free software,
