I'm a happy LibraryThing user and I particularly like that they will
import and export all kinds of data.  I was previously thinking of
trying to do this exact thing for the Noisebridge library, but never
got around to it.

This reminds me of the question of whether we also want to have a
bookplate.  I think I had suggested the legend "EX LIBRIS PONTIS
STREPITUS - LIBERALES INTER VOS ESTOTE"; maybe someone could do a
design based on this if people like it.
