Solving the Home Library Problem?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the dewey-decimal dept.

zgrossbart asks: "My wife and I have about 3,500 books. We can't find anything. All the books are in random order. We want to find a solution for organizing our books. We have a barcode scanner, but I'm not sure the best way to use it. I want a solution that is easy to maintain going forward and makes books easy to find. I also want the data in an open format. I'm think about using MySQL right now, but I'm open to other suggestions. What software do other people use to organize their home libraries?"

    I would mod you "scary because it is true" but such tag does not exist.

    Wait- you think that Karl Rove is actually trying to burn people's books?

    This post isn't "true". It is a political troll that is based on nothing more than hate-filled partisan fantasy.

    Just because people troll him doesn't mean that Karl Rove doesn't have the blackest of black hearts...

    And by "blackest of black hearts" you mean "has the nerve to disagree with my politically", right?
