It certainly sounds like a good idea to me. You can almost get there by using a file of item barcodes and importing them into a record bucket, and reporting on the bucket. I think we need other ways of populating record buckets, say, with a file of ISBN numbers, search terms, etc. Combine that with bucket entry notes, which exist in trunk, and that'd be very nice.

Are we seeing this as only something that staff would be able to do? I'd like to see patrons have the ability to upload a batch of ISBNs into a List. Social sites like GoodReads and Google Books offer this service to their users, and I think some of our users would appreciate having this in the library catalog.
