Consumer technology (RFID, maybe) so that everything that I own knows what it is and can reveal its location. What's the one device you wish someone would invent?Ī general solution to the aforementioned location problem.

Also, there is no good automated solution for older books that lack bar codes other than manual entry of the SBN number. (Although I can create a location field, this becomes ineffective as books wander from room to room). Readerware tells me what books I own but not where they are located in my house.

I wish there were less painful solutions to the 'location' problem.

READERWARE BOOKS SCAN SOFTWARE

The software works for music CDs and DVDs as well. I love it because it brings organization to information chaos, solving a real problem for the serious collector. I can then download the database to my iPod, so that I have my library catalog available to me at all times. Book cataloging solution for small to medium-sized libraries which helps with files organization, folder scanning, cloud storage, syncing, sharing and more. With very little effort, it builds a searchable database of my entire collection, containing an extraordinary amount of information, including a picture of the book. It downloads the book's title, author, cover art, plot summaries, keywords and so on.

READERWARE BOOKS SCAN CODE

With Readerware, I scan the bar code on each book and the software does the rest.

This makes it harder to select that one next book to read from among the several thousand in my library (and leads to the well-known and somewhat embarrassing multiple-purchase problem). I have bought enough books that I can no longer remember everything that I own. See for the Books version.My hobby is reading. As I recall, it has the capoability to use a bar code scanner to get an ISBN and download metadata from the Internet.

READERWARE BOOKS SCAN TRIAL

It's a commercial product with a free trial you can use to test it. The vendor has versions for cataloging books, music, and videos. I use a scanner to get the ISBN, which Readerware uses to do a lookup. See for details and downloads.Īnother I looked at a while back was Readerware. When I first get some new books, I use Readerware to catalog them and hold inventory. If you have an ISBN, I think it's possible to add a Calibre entry and associated metadata, even though there won't be an actual book it points to. I haven't tried to do it, but I think it could be adapted to cataloging paper volumes as well. Once you add books, you can download metadata to fill in the blanks, including authr's name, title, publisher, book description, and tags that can classify the book to make it easier to locate specific works of interest in Calibre's Search function. Books added to Calibre are stored in a folder tree by author's name, with additional booths by an author in sub-folders below. The principal use for Calibre is to create and manage an eBook library, though it has other features like converting between eBook formats. It's an open source, cross-platform application called Calibre. What I use at the moment is actuully intended for eBooks. scan 10 and delete them/change their tags etc. It's main weakness is lack of enough bulk operations via the scanner, ie. I'm tracking about 2000 books with a weekly fluctuation of about 20 or so. Very rarely it drops the odd one when scanning. The only thing I'd suggest doing is scan and add in batches of perhaps 20 and check it 'got' them. (Fantastic Library is the only one I could find that does this). I have found the devs to be very receptive to emails and suggestions, but frustratingly reluctant/slow to implement some of the more obvious ones like being able to bulk delete books using the scanner. That can be done on the phone too, but it can be pretty fiddly. It has a companion PC app allowing for much easier manipulation of the collection, like adding covers, tweaking titles etc. I find it is very robust regarding it's database, in that I haven't had it become corrupt over the many years I've been using it. CLZ Books is the IOS app and allows scanning of barcodes - makes it very easy to add lots of books at once.
