Tools
There doesn't seem to exist a simple end-user tool that let's you scan the ISBN barcode of your books and then produces a bibliography :(
- Mediawikis (e.g. this wiki) include a kind of ISBN resolver (see How to edit a page).
- BookSources is a Wikipedia service to search for multiple sources for a book given the ISBN number.
- ISBNdb.com. a database of books providing on-line and remote research tools for individuals, book stores, librarians, scientists, etc.
