Has anyone tried digitizing their library using a barcode scanner? Is there an easy way to batch-import the ISBN numbers from the barcode scanner into Bookends and have Bookends auto-complete the reference? Or has someone tried going through Google Library, as laid out here http://www.mattcutts.com/...

It's been sometime since I tried that and cannot remember if it works as intended (my setup is now different so I cannot verify the procedure). In my experience, anyway, symlinking preferences files to the Dropbox folder is not as reliable as one would expect. So proceed with caution I can second t...

Excellent! Thanks.

A few iterations of Bookends ago we added the ability to have Bookends treat a title "as entered" regardless of the case rules for the format. Follow it with a comma (just as you would with an institution as an "author") Hi Jon, Yes, it's an old thread, but my comment is precise...

Currently, less than a quarter of my books are entered in my Bookends library, which means that I often overlook th...

Do you mean the Bibliography Options tab? Something like "Cite the linked parent (if available) in the bibliography"? Yes, that would be a good implementation. Maybe "Cite only linked parent (if available) in the bibliography". The other (more complicated) option would be to let...

Jon suggested to raise this issue in the forum to see what others think. I would like more control over what references are included in the bibliography. Specifically, I would like to link references in such a way that when reference A, B, and C are cited in the document, only reference A is include...

I am in the Humanities, I use Chicago Style and In my daily use of Bookends & Mellel, I keep running into the following problem: When citing books from an author's Collected Works, I often want different information displayed in the footnotes than in the bibliography. For instance: In the footno...
