Do you know of any teachers who have used a scanner to keep track of the books they have in the classroom? If so, what software did they use? and what type of scanner is best?
Not a librarian, but I've known a teacher who used a cat scanner for her classroom library. I don't remember the software she used. I use LibraryThing to keep track of my books.
I use an Intelliscanner... the software is included. http://www.intelliscanner.com/products/media/index.html $79 for teachers. It's not perfect, but it does the job for me
By the way, with the intelliscanner you can also publish your book list to a website... so here is what mine looks like: http://www.intelliscanner.net/MissFunk/books/
