now that I work in library software :) ...
Fetch data from ISBN is not so difficult, depends on the provider you want. The most used protocol around the world is Z39.50 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z39.50 to get MARC formatted catalogs http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UNIMARC. I don't know if there's Smalltalk implementations of these standards.
Of course we have!!!

If you don't need high level of details, Amazon, Library Thing, ... have good catalogs with modern web services to access them.
For the webcam / scan part, I don't know what we have in Smalltalk. You need OCR tools...
I don't know, what would be cool. I suggest to send separate emails for this to get more answers.

I really like the idea of scripting and gluing together behavior. What I would love to be able to do is to use the webcam of my machine to scan a book ISBN number and fetch all the data from a given provider. Does anybody have an idea how we could plug all that together.

laurent have a look in the network chapter of the new blue book (collective book available on web page) because I do not remember but you could find some snippets going in the same sense.
