What

Bookcrossing is an online platform where you can register books and release them into the world. People can log whenever they encounter one of the books, so that books are tracked. We started adding books from our collection to bookcrossing. It serves multiple purposes:

  • Get rid of unused books
  • Share knowledge
  • Get more people acquainted with NURDspace

Books that we already entered can be found here.

Labels

We are out of bookcrossing labels. We could:

  • Order labels
  • Make labels

But! We can just print labels from Nurdbot:

!bclabel <BCID>

Where BCID is the BookCrossing ID (including hyphen), for instance:

!bclabel 669-15157999

  • Login to bookcrossing (ask Niz for account details)
  • Register book
  • Put label in book
  • Put book in designated section in our book shelves (see project picture)
