[OPLINTECH] Barcode scanners for the public

[Phil Shirley]

I'm looking for a barcode scanner to buy for use with our new CASSIE 
system, so that patrons could scan their library cards rather than 
typing in the numbers when they sign up to get in the waiting list for a 
computer.  I've never bought barcode scanners for the public before, but 
what I think I want is scanners that can be fixed permanently to aim at 
the desk and can be moved or messed with as little as possible.

Can anyone share their experiences with barcode scanners for the public, 
including what model you like and how you mounted it?  We would probably 
want something we can mount to a surface (like a desk).

Thanks for any help you can give me.

Phil
