Booxter is an application that helps you track your collections of books, music, movies and comics on your Mac. It is powerful, fun, and easy to use. Can upload using a scanner to read barcodes (or the iSight webcam).
Overview: BookCAT is a powerful database program designed specifically to maintain an inventory of your book collection. BookCAT is used by book-lovers, schools, churches, clubs, and business libraries. Using BookCAT you can quickly catalog your books by downloading information from the Internet. BookCAT will help you track what you have in your library, where it is (including books out on loan) and the total value of your collection.
This is the software I ultimately picked to catalog a book collection -- accommodates both Mac and PC
Readerware works with the C-Pen text and barcode reader. The C-Pen is a small portable device that can scan plain text and barcodes. You can use it for scanning text right into Readerware, scan the ISBN or LCCN on books that do not have barcodes. Or enter a complete book by scanning in the information from the title page.
C-Pen Handheld Scanners are designed to capture printed text and numbers one line at a time from forms, books and other printed or hand-printed documents. Small and efficient, C-Pen scans the exact segment of the text you need for storage, upload, editing, translation or processing. C-Pen can also scan barcodes and small images.
I ultimately purchased a barcode scanner from this company and was pleased with its operation and the customer service. LaserChamp.
Purchase for 2 users for $53.50. I think this is Web-based, although you download the software. Unclear whether just for PC's.
All my Books, for Windows. Purchase for 2 users for 53.50, for one is less.
The label design wizard can be used to design and print barcode labels and catalog cards for your inkjet or laser stationery.
