I wonder if anyone has done something similar? -Mike On Mar 8, 11:56 am, herkesbenibuisimletaniyacak <[email protected]> wrote: > try this:http://www.minyatur.info/gmaps/kitaplik.html > > i have a lot of books to organize :)http://www.minyatur.info/gmaps/kl.jpg > and most of them very old so barcodes are not going to work :) > > maybe someone can develop a project like this? user uploads a photo of > his bookcase then tag the books (gives specific keywords for the > books) . searches and finds them whenever he wants > > On 8 Mart, 19:23, Mike <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > > I don't know about your specific case, but you might want to do a > > google search for "online book catalog" > > > I've used Librarything and Shelfari in the past.
