Well, actually, every day, but that's beside the point. What's up today is that I finally went to use the handy dandy program that I'd written that allows me to scan the bar codes of books, and which then pulls the book information from the Library of Congress and sticks it into a database on my computer (you know, so I can check out books to people, check them back in, and generally keep extremely anal track of these things). Turns out, though, that as I'm scanning in a chunk of my books, I'm finding that the LOC doesn't have the information for most of the books I'm entering, so I'm having to do it by hand. Not so friendly after all. But then again, I probably have too many of the books that are not in their 12 million book collection.

Update: Apparently, the books are there, but the LOC has primarily all the Hardcover books, while I have a lot of the softcover ones, and the ISBN's differ based on the binding.... hmm...
