Hello safranim, 1) I'm looking for suggestions/recommendations/advice for the easiest/quickest way to catalogue some smaller private collections for basic record keeping (so no need for any features for circulation tracking, online public browsing of records, etc.). I just need a website/program/app that will let me input a call number, ISBN or title/author/etc. and will then populate for me all the basic bibliographic information (title, creators, imprint data, collation, etc.) into a spreadsheet or database that can be stored (online or locally) and at various points transferred/converted easily to Excel or (preferably) Filemaker. Hebrew character recognition (for transfer also) and a scanning function (rather than manual input) would be big pluses.
2) Is there a way for non-professional/institutional librarians to copy Marc records into Excel or Filemaker (either directly or through some software? 3) I've been playing with Librarything.com to see if it might work for me and it is ok so far. A) Is there a way to scan (not type) ISBN, call number, title, etc. rather than the bar code (most books I'm working with don't have bar codes)? B) How can I create new custom fields? C) Is there a way to search for a book across all the sources (Amazon, Library of Congress, etc) without having to search each separately one by one? Thank you?
