Data from a buddy of mine:
Here is (most) of my library, on-line! I used this fascinating (and
inexpensive) tool called "Readerware" that lets you scan a book's barcode,
then which crawls on the web and pulls in all the data it can find on it.
Still have 100 or so more books to catalog. (as they turn up in my garage.)
Interesting product, and I'm downloading it as I type this...
It's funny, too, that they mention the cuecat scanner as an input device --
I have a couple of these from when radio shack was giving them away free for
the asking, and was wondering what I was gonna do with them.
