I got the cheap barcode scanner ($10) and it really does work (even if it is shaped like a cat). Library Thing makes a great card catalog because it can sort (properly) by Library of Congress number. Also has all manner of handheld access via internet (i.e. iPhone, Blackberry, and Android). I'm planning a post for later. I like Library Thing because it is online and nearly free ($25 lifetime).

We didn't get near enough shipping money to send them directly overseas, but it was pretty cheap to ship them media mail to the organization's headquarters. It's just a thought, of course- obviously, there are plenty of books you want to keep at your fingertips.

I use Bookpedia myself, along with an online system called Goodreads. Goodreads has a great interface, but Pr. Watt pointed out to me a while back that it doesn't support LC numbering. However, it has a lot of other really nice features which I like very much. I think I have a license for Delicious Library floating around here somewhere. I should see if I can get the latest version with it and check it out. I'll also check out Booxter. Thanks for the post! Thanks! I use Bookpedia myself, along with an online system called Goodreads.
