Why You Should Join FlipShelf

FlipShelf automates and facilitates the age old process of lending, borrowing and bartering of legitimate physical media. For example you may have a good collection of books and DVDs and you lend them to your friends on request. But more often than not you forget whom you lent a particular book to and then it becomes a pain to get it back. You don't like losing books from your collection but you do. On the other hand you don't and can't buy every DVD you watch or every book you read. Sometimes you do need to borrow them from your friends. FlipShelf solves both problems for you.

• It provides an easy way to create a catalog of your media items.
• It provides mechanism for keeping track of your loans and borrowings.
• It provides a way to search for a desired item in your friends and acquaintances' libraries.
• It allows to search for items in other people's catalog whom you don't know but have a relation like co-worker, classmate or neighbor.
