In the early nineties I made a Filemaker template to keep track of my personal library. (I made it available as shareware and called it “Book Catalogue”.) A few years ago I lost my catalog due to a computer crash. Now I am looking into an online solution to catalog my book collection.

In my search I came across the following websites:

Websites to catalog books and share book reviews:
LibraryThing
Shelfari (owned by Amazon.com)
Goodreads
BookJetty
BiblioPhil
Reader2

Website to catalog books:
Book Collector Connect

Websites to catalog not only books, but also music and movies:
All Consuming
lib.rario.us

Website to share book reviews:
Revish

Website to catalog books and trade books:
BookCrossing

I really like that on some sites you are also able to connect with other book lovers besides cataloging your library. Of those LibraryThing and Goodreads seem to work best for international books. I will give them both a longer test drive before I make my decision. BookCrossing also looks very interesting.
