I found this nice open source barcode scanner that uses any webcam to scan barcodes off books, DVDs, CDs, etc. They link to several apps that implement it, including one called Books. You scan your book’s barcode, do a quick lookup, and it fetches the info from several places and fills it in. It features keeping track of checkouts, which should come in handy if you friends keep all your books. I will check it out and see if I want to spend the time to catalog my library.
