LibraryThing
If you need any help procrastinating for the next few weeks, it's easy to get addicted to LibraryThing. You can locate books in a variety of databases, or roll your own using manual entry (great cataloguing practice). My next stop (after the term ends, of course!) is scanning in my own book covers for those that are missing. Oh, and if you're deeply interested in this social-cataloguing phenomenon in general, there is even a social-cataloguing social network, SocialCatalogers:
