We have logged all HCE’s books using a specialist piece of book cataloguing software called Book Connect by Collectorz. It works by uploading all the data about a book from the ISBN number obtained by scanning the book’s bar code using a dedicated App called CLZ Barry.
The link to the Read Only version is available through the Members’ Page. Do have a look at the site and explore the Library. You can organise the display by list, book cover etc. You can also search in a variety of ways – author, title and, of particular use for us, on technique.
The Library includes details of Sarah’s and Teresa’s embroidery and sewing books which are also available for borrowing.
More information on the software and its capabilities can be found at https://www.collectorz.com/book/book-connect
Borrowing a book
If you would like to borrow any of the books listed, send an email to Sarah. In normal times, Sarah will bring the book to the next meeting for you but at the moment it’s our own version of ‘Click and Collect’.
Adding your books to the Library
If you have books that you are willing to loan out to HCE members, let Sarah know and she will set you up a separate page. You will then need to get the ISBN numbers to Sarah. The easiest way to do this is by using the free CLZ Barry Wireless Barcode Scanner available from your App Store. From there you can email the scanned numbers to Sarah.
If the book is old – pre bar code – you will need to provide the ISBN number manually.
If you have a lot of books, it may be easier to upload them directly into our Library. Have a word with Sarah if that’s the case.
