Not sure if it is quite what you want, but you can scan barcodes with a
smart phone. The scanner I'm using will even try to lookup the numbers
to give you more detail. (just to make sure I wasn't mistaken, I
scanned a book on the table beside me - the barcode was scanned, the
title of the book was correctly identified, and a link is provided to
where I can buy it. QR Codes work too.
You might be able to find a way to use this with your get up. If not,
MemEx sells new barcode scanners, but they are a little pricey.

Hi All,
Just thought I would check the list& see if anyone had a barcode
scanner (USB preferred but PS/2 would be acceptable as well) that they
didn't need. I am in the process of cataloging books, CD's, etc. for
insurance purposes& it would go a lot quicker if I didn't have to enter
everything manually.
Ideally if you had a magstripe reader as well, that would be good. I
just want to play with one.
I had access to both of these at a previous job but not there anymore.
Have looked at some pricing out there, but the prices are a little out
of my reach at this moment.
