Since I buy trade paperback collections of comics much more than individual issues these days, I am starting to amass quite a collection. So I was thinking that I need to find some way of easily cataloguing them so I know what I have as some are on bookshelves but a lot are stored in the loft of the house.<\/p>\n

Since I have a barcode scanner on my Android phone I thought that it should be possible to scan the books and have them automatically added to a cataloguing service on the web. And sure enough you can. There may be several such services but I settled on the app LibraryThingScanner<\/a> that works with LibraryThing<\/a> as I already had a web account there that I wasn’t really using much up till now.<\/p>\n

So this afternoon and evening I have catalogued the comic books on my shelves (unread and stored books still to do) and I am pretty happy with the results – it was a much better experience than I had with some specialist comic cataloguing tools. So now, as well as just having a list of my books on the web, I can change the display easily to different views and download a csv file for consultation when I don’t have web access.<\/p>\n

One of the views is just a display of the book covers only which is very cool – click on the image below (and again when you get to image shack) for a full size version:<\/p>\n
