Perhaps not directly to the point, but last year I got interested in cataloging my books, and found this:
http://zgrossbart.blogspot.com/2007/11/library-problem.html Which led me to these: http://www.microvision.com/barcode/products/rov_scanner.html http://koha.org/ http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2004/06/02/dijalog.html http://open-ils.org/ This is probably overkill, and perhaps not directly on target for what you want, but it should give you some ideas...
