I was also surprised by how many books we have that do not have any kind of bar code or even an ISBN code, a lot of Bobbie’s antique books predate ISBN. I was kind of surprised how well it worked, DL2 was not nearly as successful using the iSight camera on a laptop.
That was pretty amazing and made me very happy.Īlso, the iPhone app Delicious Scanner worked great for me successfully scanning about 75% of the books that had barcodes in our library. The great news is that even though I had lost the DL2 database, D元 was able to import the CSV file I was using on our website and retrieve the information for the 450+ plus books that were in it from Amazon. I bought it from the Apple App Store, which means it can run on all of our machines and it will stay up-to-date via the App Store app. I did another round of research for library software and came to the decision to buy and use Delicious Library 3 (D元).

Lately Bobbie has been asking me about how to update the Library page with the new books we have purchased. I thought I had backed everything up, but apparently Delicious Library’s database was not. Then disaster struck, I reformatted/re-installed all of our computers and updated them to the latest version of the Mac OS.
It worked well enough and with some simple PHP and YUI coding I built a simple web page we could use on our phones to check our library while out and about. Bobbie and I used it to catalog all of our fiction and collectable books. Many years ago I bought Delicious Library 2 (DL2) as a part of a bundle deal. Now that our son has gotten a little older and needs less attention, I go through more than a book a week on average, Bobbie doesn’t go through as many books in number, but she is reading much larger non-fiction books and taking copious amounts of notes.
