By coincidence yesterday evening I decided to start scanning my books with an Android application I'd come across during random surfing. I figured if I picked a bookshelf at random and could enter all the books without a problem I'd do the whole house. As it turned out a random bookshelf had about 60% success rate. I knew that I have some books without ISBN entries, and some that have got barcodes covered in stickers, etc, but I didn't expect it to be such a hard job. I guess every decade or two I try auditing books and I never get very far. I should just pay a student to enter them into an online CRUD application and be done with it..
