GuruLib helps you organize your books and movies

If you need to get better organized (and don't we all?) you should check out GuruLib, a new, free service that helps you organize home libraries.

Using a bookshelf metaphor, GuruLib helps you catalog books, movies, music, games and software on its Web site. For example, you could use it to keep track of books or movies you've loaned to friends. Cataloging information is pulled either from Amazon or public libraries.

Here are some more features:

1. Virtual shelfs to provide a visual reference to the actual physical location
2. Cataloging and searching of Word, PPT, PS, PDF and XLS documents.
3. Barcode image decoder allows adding titles to your GuruLib account using a cellphone or webcam.
4. Write and share book reviews
5. Find the monetary value of your home library for fun or for insurance purposes
6. Set price alerts on your wish list items so that GuruLib will automatically notify when price drops below the target
