Field notes
The workflow starts with a photograph of the inner title page rather than a barcode, then extracts title, author, publisher, and year before checking several external catalogs. The page names Google Books, Open Library, Archive.org, and curated regional antiquarian listings as matching sources, and says the resulting records can be organized into shelves and exported to CSV. Its comparison table specifically calls out Croatian, Serbian, and Bosnian editions.
