I took most of them with the intention of starting a library for the lvlug and the Linux sig of that other local computer users group. That never really came to fruition, so I've decided to donate most of those books to the MakeLehighValley organization that is forming. (I've tried to write to Dann just to make sure he has no objection--I sent an email to dann at thelinuxlink.net this weekend.) (2) Scanner for ISBN Bar Codes Before I actually turn the books over, I'd like to make a list of them to put on WikiLearn or elsewhere on the Internet. Does anyone here have access to one of those (portable) bar code scanners that can read the ISBN codes on (modern) books? I'd like to find one to borrow, or find someone that's willing to scan in about 3 cartons of books. I also don't know much about them--I presume that to get the actual book information (like author, title, ...), there is another program involved that has to access the Internet? If I don't get anywhere here, I'll go to the next library book sale (Bethlehem has one in late June), and find and talk to one of the people using a scanner like that.

Do libraries have ISBN Bar Code scanners? How about book stores (new or used)? Maybe someone who monitors Craigslist?
