Many apps (definitely Librarything, maybe Libib too?) have apps that you can use to scan barcodes using the phone camera, so my tip would be check for that before buying a scanner!
Did I just manually add all of my owned books into StoryGraph like two weeks ago? Yes. Have I previously failed to integrate notion into my daily life? *nods* Am I still tempted to do precisely this? Also yes 😅
thank you. I use the CLZ Books app to scan and organize. I'll use until I get to a manageable size and can see them on my shelves. I was hoping to use Storygraph's scan option but it doesn't work as well. I also like the multi-book upload and sorting capabilities. For ex, I wanted to read the shortest book I had.
This is awesome, because I decided that I want to catelog my entire TBR. I'll worry about my read books later lol. I want to make sure I am reading so much off my shelves every year so I want to catalog my unread books for this year. Thank you so much for all the tips and tricks!
The first time I scanned all my books (using my phone not a scanner, using LibraryThing but I like Libib better), it wasn’t for a fun reason, just boring practical adulting: for property insurance documentation. That was 5 years ago though, it’s time for an update.

Yep, Libib too.

Thank you so much for sharing these tips.
I would love to catalogue my books but I am so so lazy 😂
