I recently learned about Tellico, an application to catalog pretty much any collection. It includes templates to record details of books, audios, videos, stamps, coins, and other common kinds of collections and it can connect to many popular data sources such as Amazon, IMDB, and PubMed. Tellico is released under GPL.
To me, the best part of Tellico is its committed author, Robby Stephenson: He has actively maintained Tellico since its inception in 2002. And, he even lists alternatives to Tellico right on the Tellico page. Kudos Robby.
I can't comment on Tellico's usability (because I haven't used it enough), but judging by the screenshots, I see it can be quite useful in managing household collections. For example, my wife should be able to use Tellico instead of the MS Excel workbook she currently uses to catalog and track our household items. (Before you ask, my designated role at home is to move items around such that the catalog becomes unreliable.)
But, Tellico's age shows, and here is how.
