BOT with Scanner BAR CODE

Post by Nhaps »

I feel the need to scan with my iPhone the bar code of my personal books so that I can transfer these refs to BE. When would this option be available for BOT?

This is a feature of personal library managers, not reference managers. It's something Serge and I have discussed, but we never talk about new features until they're added (the exception being when I want to get feedback from users about implantation details).

This is a feature that overlaps between them. On the one hand yes, it is a personal library manager feature, but I suppose users would love to be able to quickly add their personal library references into BE. They could then import into a folder or ascribe tags that identify what they already own. More importantly, this would speed up the process of creating references for your own stuff.
