… are in my personal library, yay!<\/p>\n

I had been meaning to digitally catalog my book collection for some time now. I have on several occasions found books at used bookstores that I wasn’t sure whether or not I owned yet (typically books in a series or books by prolific authors). So I finally used a free app called Libib<\/a> to digitally catalog the books I own (not including eBooks at the moment; I only have perhaps a dozen of those). Next time I am wondering the shelves of a used bookstore, I can now search the app to be sure of what I have and what I don’t. Even while cataloging the books, I found a few books to weed out because I have multiple copies of them.<\/p>\n

You can scroll through my library here:\u00a0https:\/\/shannifin.libib.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n

(Unfortunately there does not yet seem to be a way to sort the public listing in any other way besides by title.)<\/p>\n

I get a majority of books used, and have walked away with some big loads for cheap prices when stores are going out of business or getting rid of excess. I’m sure I still spend too much money on books considering my slow reading speed, but they’re addicting to collect, aren’t they?<\/p>\n

I’ve only read around 10% of these books. Of course, some books are more for reference and not really meant to be read from front to back anyway. Still, with my current reading speed, I will likely die with the majority of these books left unread. Which is fine, because upon death I will have access to infinite knowledge… I hope.<\/p>\n

Anyway, if you’re a book lover or collector and wish to digitize a record of your catalog, Libib<\/a> is the best free app (for Android) I’ve come across so far. It also allows you to export a CSV file, which is handy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
