And once you have scanned a monster, you'd be able to get the results without casting. Or better: on first scan it shows you a pop-up window with the stats and adds that info into a new menu item, e.g. Monster info, where you can browse through all the monsters you have scanned.
Not quite where I was going with the library idea. I wanted to keep thing old world fantasy that the FF series is known for. Where the information gathered looked more like a book.

But it would be handy either way to just have access to this information in the game instead of having to resort to looking at a website for the same information! Why is Square so dead set in hiding this information?
