Book Collector (www.collectorz.com/book) makes it easy to create a digital catalog of your books. Just enter each book’s International Standard Book Number (IBSN), the 10 digit number found on the back cover of most books that uniquely identifies them and the program finds the title, cover art and the details of the book, such as chapters and characters. $50 for PC or MAC. Another program called Delicious Library (www.delicious.monster.com) uses your MAC’s built-in iSight camera or other web camera to take a picture of a product’s bar code, it then retrieves the product information online. It can catalog books, music CDs, DVDs and more. $40/MAC.
