I bought a barcode scanner, so I can scan all my books into a database. Could you recommend a good database that utilizes the barcode scanner? I have a Mac.
Thank you,
Peg

I use and love Delicious Library, you can read about it/buy it at the app store, or their website is http://delicious-monster.com - you can find out more there and see screenshots, etc.

ETA: I should also just mention - delicious library will also use your built-in camera to scan the books in - you don't have to have a hand held scanner - but since you do, they are supposed to work well with the program.

I put Goodreads onto my smartphone and can use a scanner through the camera (I just downloaded a program for the scanner app), and can now add books to my GRs shelves that way.

I use the GR scanner on my iPhone for that too - I love it! Libib.com has something similar I use as well. I use Delicious Library so I have an at-home database of books I currently own/have on my shelves. It also came in handy when it came time to estimate the value of the books for insurance purposes. That was a heart wrenching moment - seeing how much it would cost to replace all my books. :P

I use the Goodreads bar code scanner all the time on my android phone and love it.

Try www.collectorz.com
They sell databases for books, movies, music and others. They also have free demo versions you can try to see if your barcode scanner is compatable. I use all 3 and really like them. I believe they have mobile apps as well.
