You can have all of the information about your books in whatever order you want. The great thing about Bookpedia is that it is simple and flexible. It actually made it pretty fun to go through my books and put them into the program. You can also put the information for your book in manually. It is possible to scan the UPC barcode on your books using the isight on your computer or you can put in the ISBN number. Bookpedia comes with the ability to search for books in Amazon, and you can set it up to search in your college library or even Worldcat. One of the best things about the program is that you can search your books in a variety of databases. Putting in the info for your book is easy. You can think of Bookpedia as a sort of iTunes for your books. It came in the form of an application called Bookpedia. In other words, it did not help me at all.Ī couple of months ago I found a solution to most of my problems. However, I was turned off of the program after battling with it to write a paper, and so I stopped updating it and using it.
#Bookpedia book software#
This software is designed to keep track of not only your own books, but of everything you read.
I stated in my last post that one of the only pieces of third-party software that I owned at the beginning of my graduate school was Endnote. However, this fear bespoke a larger problem: as my book collection became larger my ability to remember what books I owned dwindled. One fear I always have when searching a used bookstore for new books is that I will purchase something that I already own.
I always have noble intentions to read all of the books that I purchase, but the reality, and I assume I am not alone in this, is that a large number of the books I own have never been read. I would not claim to have the vastest of book collections (I have a feeling Matt would beat me), but I think I have a fair collection of books. But the one item that I do tend to spend a large chunk of my limited funds on is books (and rent and gas). As a graduate student one of the things I generally lack is money.
