chrisaldrich For those following along with the card catalog discussion from IWC-San Diego 2025, LibraryThing.com has their CueCat bar code scanners and bar code stickers on sale for the holidays: https://www.librarything.com/more/store

#
[social] LibraryThing’s phone apps also use the phone’s camera as a scanner and it works well. It needs the book’s barcode to get the information. It works well. But, it doesn’t have the bar code stickers.

[schmarty] Really warms my heart to see cuecats continuing to be reused over twenty years later 💖

#
[tantek] how many dongles to you need to connect to hook up a cuecat to a modern laptop?
#
[tantek] also how do modern smartphones not have barcode scanning built into the same code that recognizes QR codes?!?

[tantek] would love to see someone with a cuecat demoing their workflow on a HWC or preferably an IndieWebCamp!
#
[schmarty] The linked cuecats are USB, probably at most one adapter

chrisaldrich In testing this morning, both the /Goodreads and /LibraryThing mobile apps have fairly solid built-in scanning of ISBN barcodes that allow you to quickly add books to (taggable) shelves.
