![]() Have other methods and systems for tracking your books? Tips on doing inventory? Stats about your personal library? I’d love to hear it all! Especially stats. Once you’ve scanned all your books (don’t forget the ones on their sides, which you may have to enter manually) and uploaded them to your inventory program, you’re ready to start organizing! I put books like this on their side just in case. Side note: what you’re scanning is the ISBN of the book, if the store you purchased the book from covered up the original barcode with one of their own, it may not be the book’s actual ISBN and therefore may not scan. Instead, just flip the book on its side and return to it later. You will likely encounter many of these, leading to towering piles. If you come across a book that has no barcode or has a sticker over the barcode, learn from my mistake and don’t pull said book off the shelf. ![]() Pull the book off the shelf just enough to grab the barcode, scan, push it back. You can scan straight into your cataloging program (depending on the system), or into a text or excel file. I recommend scanning shelf by shelf to easily track what you’ve scanned and what you haven’t. So you’ve got a cataloging program, a barcode scanner, and a bunch of books. Many, in fact, and some are built for your book cataloger of choice. You could buy one, but they can be expensive (though-not to continue fangirling-LibraryThing sells a cheap one in the shape of a cat).įortunately there’s an app for that. Make sure it either has an app to scan books into or can upload. LT is super customizable, allows for both tagging and collections, tracks multiple reading dates, lets you to note where and when you got the book, and can helps you track books you’ve lent out.īut you do you: choose a program that feels and looks good, and suits your needs. There are many to choose from-there’s libib, Goodreads, booklikes, Delicious Library, and countless others (most I have not tried).īut LibraryThing-whose praises I’ve sung once or twice before-is my go to book cataloger. You’ll want to choose a program in which to store your inventoried library. ![]() You can find, view and download MARC records via our Metadata Download Center link.
