Cheap Barcode Scanner to Catalog My Books?

Cheap Barcode Scanner to Catalog My Books?
I have a huge library of books and am looking for a barcode scanner that comes with software so that I can make an inventory list.

I already know of librarything.com but I’m not interested in doing this inventory online.

Just something simple and inexpensive, please.

Thanks.

Best answer:

I don’t know anything about barcode scanners but I helped manage a book store for a while.

The simplest way to keep track of it to just make up a database of the ISBNs. You can program it to show you the name, author, publishing date, genre, etc.

Then you won’t end up with the risk of damaging a book or having to worry about hooking up any new hardware.

If you want to still go with the scanner idea I did a little research and found this for about .

    Hi Korrie Ann! EpicPOS.com carries a number of different barcode scanners. I don’t know how many books you are planning on scanning, but since you have to hold each one to scan the barcode, one really affordable and simple solution is a wand scanner. This one (epicpos.com/unitech-ms100.html) is USB so, it is basically a plug and play model. Good luck!
