Is it possible to sell video games that belong to a public library?
If you check out games from a public library, is it possible to then sell those games to a Gamestop without something showing up when they scan the barcode?
Best answer:
Lol public librarys require a valid ID for a library card if I am not mistaken. So not returning those games will result in them fining you. On another note, that’s one pathetic thing to do, get a job.

I’m looking for a program/app to catalog my personal book library (see description for requirements).?
Can you recommend something? I need it to:
–Be free or inexpensive (and if paid, I’ll pay only once, I don’t want monthly/annual fees)
–Work in a Windows OS (or be OS-independent)
–Support input of books via scanning their barcode with a webcam
–Interface with Amazon.com, etc., to populate data fields
–Allow for customizable fields
–Allow export of data in various formats (spreadsheet/csv etc.)
[--Allow cloud storage/access from anywhere (like in Google Docs or something similar). The software itself does not need to be web-based (in fact, I'd rather it weren't), but I'd like to be able to access the data from anywhere (this is pretty much a given if the previous requirement is met, since I can store a .csv or .pdf in Google Docs)]
And if that isn’t asking too much, it’d be nice to have the option of creating more than one library, for example, if I decide to catalog our DVDs after I’m done with my books :)
Any recommendations would be helpful, and the one that meets the most of my criteria is the favorite!!! Thanks for reading my long list of specifications ;)
@Colanth and @rusty math : I know that such programs/apps DO exist. I had done extensive research, took notes on several products to compare them, and then misplaced my notes. After looking and looking, I finally gave up on retrieving my notes, and began my research all over again. (I can’t remember the names of the ones I decided were top contenders before, but I thought for sure if I did my search again, I’d find/recognize them. Turns out I can’t remember at all…) Of the programs/apps that I AM finding, there a couple that that meet all of my requirements with one (non-negotiable) exception: they’re for Mac OSes only. I believe there HAS to be something out there that will work in Windows!
@aussieone : Thanks for the information about Readerware; that one did come up in my research and it is currently a contender (I’ve read some good things about it, and the price is not bad given all the features!). I would want to back up my data file, but I understand you’re not certain your trouble was the program’s fault or perhaps your own… I appreciate your input; thanks!

Does anyone in PA have a library card?
I want to access some newspaper back issues through the POWER site, but it requires a valid PA library card barcode to gain access. I live out of state, so I do not have a valid library card. Can anyone help me?

Does removing rfid tags from library books allow for theft?
Hi, I work at my school library and we are currently having a problem with stolen library books. We are wondering how this is happening, as there is only one entrance/exit to the library and no one has noticed kids holding books above their heads as they walk out. One thing we are wondering is whether kids are removing the RFID tags from our books and leaving them somewhere in library, then simply walking out with the book in a bag. Is this possible? If not, what could be the explanation for our problem?

How do I scan my library card’s barcode to print it in the same proportion?
I want to do this because I don’t like carrying around my library card, it could get lost and etc.
I have a scanner by the way, but every time i scan it’s too large.

Is it ok to replace a lost library book with a new one?
I borrowed a really old 80′s kids movie from the library and we can’t find it anywhere. It is late and they emailed me and said that if I don’t return it, they will charge me for a new one. Well, I found the exact same DVD for under .00 on ebay, new in plastic. Can I order it and give to the library? Obviously, the’ll have to put a new barcode label on it, but they’d have to do that anyway if they ordered it themselves.

I got a barcode number from library and archives canada, but I need the barcode image. How do I make one free.
I need an original version of my own barcode number for my book. I cannot copy it from another book for obvious reasons.
Best answer:
Use a scanner at a local library and e-mail the image to yourself? Use a photocopier?
