Library Books is a small Mac OS X application that puts a listing of books you've currently borrowed or reserved up in the Menubar. You can subscribe to multiple libraries, receive notification of overdue books and access the online library catalogues.It's thoughtfully designed and surprisingly easy to set up. Libraries in Australia, US, UK, Germany and other countries are listed, in addition to some generic catalogue systems. I haven't been able to get the Melbourne City Library going yet (any ideas?), but have connected to Boroondara and Melbourne University.
It's free and definitely worth trying - particularly by all those recently retired babyboomers catching up on reading!
