Now I know that LibraryThing sells a barcode reader on their site... http://www.barcode-monster.com/BarcodeMonster/html/ is another one - I have used something like this with a webcam before but it was only somewhat effective.

I wouldn't have thought they would give so much away to stimulate that part of our private enterprise. It makes sense though. Sounds like a good program. Wow, that’s quite a bit of money.

I have had queries from people considering library school and wondering if they really will be able to find a job with that degree. I have had mixed reactions to this. One the one hand, I feel ... nervous and uncertain and worried about both the immediate job environment (living in *Michigan*!!!) and the future of the profession. On the other hand, I see persons with library degrees and skills working in so many exciting new ventures, forging ahead in a "brave new world", to reuse a treasured old phrase that works perhaps even better for us now. I was asked to comment on this amazing thread because of a blog post I did earlier today. http://etechlib.wordpress.com/2009/07/08/looking-for-a-job-or-new-hire-what-about-social-media-cloud-computing-and-virtual-worlds/ This thread and discussion inspired a new blogpost. http://etechlib.wordpress.com/2009/07/08/more-on-jobs-what-about-librarianship/ Go for it, folks, and keep up the great discussion and good work!
