How to share a library collection with another person

Hello.

I am trying to find a site/app that will allow me to log our library collection at home for our history information. Something that I can share with my husband so that he also has the list to review when we look for other books.

I have lost the last list due to getting a new phone and the information did not link over, so I want to have something that would also be connected to the web. So far this looks like it will do that. I just have not found out how to share this with him also. Is there anyone that can help me out?

>1 GLHH: You can shore your profile link or direct link to catalogue https://www.librarything.com/catalog/GLHH

ETA: As long as you've set your library as public, anyone can view it (but not edit anything, those are available only when logged in)

If you both want to edit the library, just give your spouse your username and password. If you want to be the only person that edits, then don't. He can still see it if your library is public, without logging in.

If you don’t want everyone to see it but want him to be able to without getting into your account, you can “friend” him and adjust your settings to allow friends to see your library while keeping it private from the rest of the world. That won’t allow him to edit (for that he needs to be logged into your profile) but he will be able to see it.
