Book Cataloging the Mac Way

My wife has long desired to have a catalog of all the books we've accumulated over the years. There have been a few attempts to create one, such as writing titles and authors on paper, then entering the information into spreadsheets, i.e. bear skins and stone knifes.

Recently, she showed me something called Library Thing, which improves the situation somewhat in that you can peruse amazon and indicate which items are in your personal collection. Better for sure, but still labor intensive.

Fortunately, a better solution exists for Mac users - Delicious Library

To catalog books, simple use the iSight camera built into the MacBook to scan your books barcode, and it's entered into your catalog. With goodies such as export to the iPhone or iWeb, it combines ease of use with accessibility.
