One of the most efficient method of scanning resources into a Stock Check is by using a portable barcode reader. The main advantage of a portable barcode reader is that the user may scan the barcode label whilst the book is still on the shelf; the user does not need to bring the book to the computer to be scanned. All numbers stored in the portable barcode reader may then be ‘downloaded’ to the open Stock Check. Portable barcode readers can be bought outright or hired for desired periods of time. Please contact MLS for the prices and availability of portable barcode readers for sale or hire.

 

We have a dedicated document which explains how to install and configure a Portable Barcode Reader with the library system. Click here for information on using the device with the software.
