Kissy Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Does anyone do this? I want to get an app that will catalog my library so I know what all is there and can share or maybe loan to a friend and it will keep that data for me too. I also want one that uses a barcode. I have found two that do this but wanted to know if anyone else did this and what they use. The two I found are Book Catalogue by Evan Leybourn and My Book Droid. Anyone know anything about these?

punchbuggyblue Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Sounds like an awesome undertaking! I would lose steam after about 100 books I think...but it's a great idea! Hopefully you'll find an app that takes pictures of the books and puts them in the library automatically! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangermom Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 That's why the barcode scan is so brilliant. I've never bothered with library software because, what a hassle! But with a barcode scan, it would be just boop boop boop! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kissy Posted September 3, 2012 Author Share Posted September 3, 2012 Yes I wouldn't do it without a bar code scanner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kissy Posted September 3, 2012 Author Share Posted September 3, 2012 Wow no one else does this? I might have to just try one out then and give a review. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ladydusk Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 I think LibraryThing has some app things available. Or is simple enough I can use it on my non-smart phone when patient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloudswinger Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 I'm converting to a digital library, but most of the books I am keeping don't have barcodes. It would be nice to know what books I do have though. There does seem to be a bunch of them though. More than the two you listed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momma4Boys Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 this would be great to have - let us know if it works well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kissy Posted September 11, 2012 Author Share Posted September 11, 2012 I chose Book Catalogue and so far it is awesome. I did have to download a scanner too it suggestion xying scanner or google goggles I think the google thing sounds scary with all the stuff it can do, kinda cool too but wow. Anyway, it found all my books and added them in. I was able to put in some homeschooling books I had in the attic and it has a line for me to put that it is in the attic so I know where it is, which was awesome! Now I can export the list and email it to people if they want to borrow a book and I can even put in who has the book so I will know where my book is when I want it back. :) I am in love!!
