I've looked at LibraryThing a bit more. You can add tags of your choice to the books in your catalog (e.g., read, unread, need to reread, need to buy, should recommend these to MR, etc.). If you have a scanner, the book entry to your catalog is rapid. I found it easy enough without one. Type in an author or partial title and select from the list. It'll provide you with a book cover image, the ISBN, call number, etc. Add your tags, if you like, one at a time or in batches. Downsides: I don't see a provision to download your catalog besides printing it. And......[wait for it]......it's free - but only if limited to 200 books. For more, there's a $10 annual or $25 lifetime fee.
