RE: Barcode Databases, was Barcode Scanners

["Mark Harrison" <Mark.Harrison@xxxxxxx>]

Stuart,

I tried this kind of thing - however, it didn't help since the lookup,
copy, paste took as long as the typing in (I touch type).

Looks like Daniel's software may be the answer, though.

If you guys look at MrHouse (http://misterhouse.net:8080) one of
the
things
it can do is give you details of a barcode by looking up the data
online.

There are many many websites that will let you search by ISBN,
including:

Amazon.com
borders.com
barnes&noble.com
price-hunter.net

Other sites will return data for most barcodes you care to scan into it:

barpoint.com
upcdatabase.com

I have a DVD database set up at the moment
(http://garner.smgsystems.co.uk/opendb/)
and I plan to add to this to
search
various sites for details of the film, after scanning the barcode,
instead of
having to title serach.
