If you have a low cost barcode scanner, you can use it to scan the barcode of the ISBN number on the back cover of your book. This number can then be used to run a search and capture the hit directly into your Biblioscape database. Therefore, you can enter the bibliographic data of your book collection into your Biblioscape database without typing.
| 1. | Click the references folder "Online Search" in the Biblioscape project tree. |
| 2. | Click the "Online Search" tab on the right. Select the "Z39.50" tab at the top.
 |
| 3. | Select the Z39.50 source "Library of Congress". You can also use another Z39.50 source if you prefer. Click the "Any Field" combo box and select the "ISBN" field.
 |
| 4. | Next, click the Search button to run the search. If there is a hit, Biblioscape will automatically capture the bibliographic record of the hit and put it into the references folder "Online Search". You can then drag and drop it to another folder. |
