If you're like us, you have managed to create your own mini-library of books, magazines, games, CDs, software titles, and movies. It is difficult to sort through all of them to see which ones you have on file, or to find where you last shelved a particular one. Librarian Pro is a complete personal inventory system!
Organize items into smart collections, add them to the in-program Amazon shopping cart, mark them as lent out to friends, and even export for the web or your iPod! Librarian Pro also supports importing from other cataloging applications like Delicious Library and DVDpedia.
Search for items in-program on Amazon by author, artist, title, and keyword. Details will automatically fill into new items — including product images! Additionally, up to five Amazon reviews are also retrieved for your reading pleasure. Afterward, even add your own reviews!
Librarian Pro's databases are fully compatible with both the Mac OS X and Windows versions. Additionally, one license will grant activation for both copies of the application. Download the free fifteen day trial and have serenity return to your media collections.

User Reviews
"Thanks also for Librarian Pro. It seems like a really nice piece of software that works exactly as I would expect Mac software to work." — Barry McCullough
"This app handles books, movies, music. It imports data from amazon (and a wide range of other sources), handles a library-lending function, integrates with OS X well (addressbook etc.)." — Timothy Bates
"Great piece of software, but I'm not surprised. I have Data Guardian and Mac Pilot, both of which are also mighty fine." — Shannon Weiss
"I am impressed, at least, by Koingo's generosity, and I haven't even downloaded this software yet. I've got all of their other applications (every single one) because they offered them once as a big bundle at an almost give-away price. Some I don't use at all but others are very handy, and they all seem to be of a decent quality. I'm not sure how useful to me Librarian Pro will be, but at a 67% discount I'm buying it just to show a bit of extra support to what appears to be an unusually open-handed company." — Richard Hallas
"I recently purchased Lib Pro, and my compliments on a great little program. It imported my Delicious and itunes Library painlessly and is a fast way to track my CDs." — Matthew
"I'm having real doubts that Delicious Library is ever going to get updated so this program is looking more and more appealing." — Clm
"I just started using this today and it is fantastic! I buy used books and this is a great way to inventory them, as well as everything else I have - from DVDs to computer software and music in iTunes - and the last two can be imported by just having Librarian Pro scan your files! Fantastic app!" — Buzzyman
"This is a nice library app. The ability to import from other libraries, including DL, is a great timesaver and makes it easy to decide to adopt this over DL. The developers appear to be very responsive to bug reports and feature requests. The biggest thing this application has over DL is the extensive breakdown of Music information. I much prefer this implementation over DL." — Darkentries
"|My friend has this and it works great! I love how it will scan by bar-codes!" — Dfed
"Yes, wondered also if DL was ever going to be updated so I began looking at this as a replacement. Rather than mention the problems with DL, I'll just say Librarian seems cleaner and more responsive to me. And it's actually updated." — Big77
"It's much simpler than Delicious Library, which IMHO looks very good, but is not the best app around. And the fact it doesn't restrict what kind of media you can store is a big plus over DL" — Michele3
"Looks like a very nice alternative to Delicious library, which I do have but never got quite comfortable with its interface. What I like about Librarian Pro is how its famiiar interface is similar to most of all the other organisational apps I use." — Catt
"This app stands out as one of the best of its breed. Brilliantly put together. Well worth the shareware fee! The developer listens too, so if you need something, you can send in a request. " — Glenbo
"I have books and CDs everywhere! This could really help bring order to life." — Andy33
"This is great software to help organise my collection of books and media." — Hollyhock
" For a collection of books, CDs, DVDs and more this seems to be the absolutely right small and easy to use application! " — Aviation Steve
"Nice that it is putting multiple databases in one program rather than having separate ones for each type of item such as books, movies, etc." — Cenocre
"This app is beautiful and seems functionally identical to Delicious Library (which I am currently using), so I congratulate you on creating this application." — C Hilding
"I think that it's better that Delicious Library. This app is beautiful, very nice interface and seems very useful." — Multimago
"The biggest thing going for Delicious Library is the barcode scanning. However, I've found inputting my ISBN for library books to be more accurate and almost as fast. DL is limited on what you can do after the collection is in the database. This is where Librarian Pro shines." — 3ccdbmp
"I just downloaded the Librarian Pro demo, installed it, and took a look at what it can do. It has a very straight-forward and intuitive interface, so I felt comfortable starting to use it right away. First I noticed that it is works closely with Amazon (including search, view cart, download Amazon ratings), which I like since I shop and research products on Amazon almost every day. Secondly, it has "Smart Collections" so you can automatically organize a new folder based on your own rules. Thirdly, you can import not only from previous collections on other inventory programs but also from iTunes (it took seconds to scan my iTunes albums and neatly list them alphabetically, with all the included track information!) and my hard drive for software applications (listed them and included their own cute icons!) Librarian Pro is an amazingly simple but powerful inventory system. " — IAlice
"The app sounds like what I have been waiting for to catalog my work videos and DVD's." — Weirdsci
"The dual license for my MacBook and home PC sold me. And though I already use bibliographic software for academic purposes, this looks easy (and fun?) to use for my kids." — Jrs2008
"Looks like a very capable competitor to DL and the *pedia apps." — Abeckstrom
"This app has more features than Delicious Library, including Mac/Windows support" — Danielj
"This is a really nice product. The UI is nice and easy to get around in, also the fact that it organizes items as it does is very beneficial." — Pathku
" I've got my library split between work and home and on more than one occasion, I've bought books that I already own. This should help keep track of what I've bought as well as books I've loaned out and never gotten back. Two Thumbs Up!!" — DenverPhotog
"Librarian Pro works for me!" — Lew Kellogg
"I've been looking for a good media library program, so this is just the ticket!" — Banzai
"This is a superb program! I was a beta tester for it and use it now for my library at work." — Xnedwriter
"Decent software that is a real aid in inventorying all sorts of items, particularly software." — Panthera
"Having used Librarian Pro for most of the week now, I'm extremely happy with it and consider it the best possible tool for my purposes; you put a lot of comprehensive thought into Librarian Pro, and it shows at every level.. It's the dream of a lifetime to have so much searchable collection data;my newly finished databases will help more than just me: I have many friends who are musicians and music-lovers who often need to get their hands on unusual repertoire that's now out of print; so they thank you too, for helping me know exactly what I've got. I thank you for creating this marvelous tool and making it available at such a reasonable cost. You are one of the angels." — Marvin
"This is an awesome application - I had and loved Delicious Library,but it lacked some important features. Your app delivers in droves. I'm very impressed and grateful for your latest!" — Herb McPherson
"I'm currently a Delicious Library user, and although I might still have a need for it, I might be switching to this program as my main tool. It imported my existing library without a problem... I highly recommend giving this one a test drive" — Asvoren
"This is a long awaited thing and I have to say it's an outstanding app! Keep up the good work with it." — SASZKA
"I've examined every book database that has come out (I think) for four years, and LP is the first one I've been able to configure to do what I want... The more I use Librarian Pro, the more I like it. Sure glad I hung around to explore it. I really thank you for engaging me in my criticism until I'd thoroughly examined it and discovered what I could really do with it. " — Daru Stevens
