Re: [lace] Cataloguing lace books
Dear Noelene, A nice solution to a book collector's needs. Is there a maximum capacity? I mean, did Evan Leybourn make an app for cataloguing thousands of books? And, how many years will the app be operable for users? (Such things have a way of losing support over the passage of time.) Polishing up shovels for another onslaught of forecasted snow tonight. It has been below freezing temperatures for a long time. Yesterday's sun softened old snow enough to be able to poke deep holes in the high (above my head) and deep snow piles created from plowing. Air can get deep inside and facilitate evaporation as well as melting. Used a round broom handle as my tool. To the creative mind, the snow equals card and the holes make a pattern. Shall I try scallops? Might as well play with it... Jeri Ames in Maine USA Lace and Embroidery Resource Center I thought Iâd share a book cataloguing App I found on Play Store. All you do is start the app, point the camera lens of your smart phone at the barcode, and hey presto, the full details of the book including a cover picture is stored. Itâs a free app, just called âBook Catalogueâ by Evan Leybourn, available from the Google Play Store. And if for some reason the cover picture isnât available in the data downloaded, you can take your own picture of the cover.If thereâs no barcode, (like the UK Lace Guild booklets) you can key in an ISBN number, or if thereâs no number, key in the data yourself. I love it! It works on my tablet as well, and the data is synchronised between my phone and my two tablets. The only drawback is that the camera lens in my 7 inch tablet does not recognise the barcodes, so I always use the phone to actually enter the book into the catalogue. As an avid collector of lace books, I've found this app a great way to have a full catalogue of what I own.

Yay!! I found the section on where to record book loans on this app. Cheers, Shirley T. - cooling down to 28C today Jeri but sure could use some of the wet stuff you have an abundance of.

RE: [lace] Cataloguing lace books
The capacity of the program is only limited to the size of your storage, Jeri. And I've been using it for several years now, ever since I first got a smart phone. It's certainly not some fly by night program. A reminder to anyone using the program - if you update your version of the program, remember to backup your bookshelves to Archive first, then import the bookshelves back into the program when the backup is up and running. Your books can be synchronized between your smart phone and your tablet/s via Goodreads (another free program). You can export to, and import from, a CSV file (comma separated values) which can in turn be imported into several different types of programs. You can have multiple bookshelves, each containing the books of your choice. Mine has never graduated to anything but lace books, but I really must get down to creating bookshelves specifically for bobbin lace, tatting, needlelace, etc. And as Shirley has so joyfully discovered, yes you can make a record on an entry to show who has borrowed that particular book! Good work, Shirley! You can read more about it at http://tinyurl.com/b5lh98x. Noelene at The Angle. noel...@lafferty.com.au A nice solution to a book collector's needs. Is there a maximum capacity?

[lace] Cataloguing lace books
Seeing some members of Arachne send messages on their smart phones/tablets (many of which get cut off when I receive them after the first apostrophe, so I have to go to the archives to read the full message), I thought Id share a book cataloguing App I found on Play Store. All you do is start the app, point the camera lens of your smart phone at the barcode, and hey presto, the full details of the book including a cover picture is stored. Its a free app, just called Book Catalogue by Evan Leybourn, available from the Google Play Store.
