== How To Scan Books Into LibraryThing ==
# Install the LibaryThing app on your mobile device
# Go from the app’s main page to “Add to Catalog”
# Check the book to see if it has a barcode you can scan. It should be either on the back, or (more rarely) on one of the inside covers. If it is, go to step 4. Otherwise, skip ahead to step 7
# Go from “Add to Catalog” to “Scan” by hitting the barcode symbol in the top right corner
# Move your camera so that the book’s barcode is in the box. You should see a new entry with the book’s title pop up; as soon as you do, move quickly on to the next book. You can scan multiple books at once this way, so I usually just line up several books side-by-side and scan them all in quick succession.
#* Warning: the scanner can be EXTREMELY finicky and sensitive, so you might end up making duplicate entries of the same book by accident. From the scanning page, go to “Review” and check that you only scanned the books you wanted to scan; if there are any new duplicates or other bad entries, swipe left on them to delete them. 
# If the book doesn’t have a barcode to scan, it should usually still have an ISBN number  (a 13-digit code, sometimes with an ‘X’ appended to it) written on the back cover (or at least the copyright page). Enter that into the search bar at the top of the “Add to Catalog” page, select the entry that looks like your book, and hit “Add to Catalog”.
# All done! Your book(s) is/are now saved in the LibraryThing catalog.
