Well, no, I don't have anything to do with medicine! X-)

I simply want to keep a database of my books and magazines, because I'm
loosing track of them ;-)

I was thinking of some thing to keep titles, authors, abstract, etc. of
the books, but also perhaps the contents page of magazines, and where I
keep it. I was also thinking of saving images scanned from the title page,
for example, and the content, in case I'm too lazy for typing.

Now that I think... there are online databases for CDs, where I can get
automatically the CD data. I wonder if there is such thing for books?
Entering the isbn, for example, and getting the data filled in ;-)

Do you know of any howto or document about such things?
