[OPLINTECH] Barcode scanners for the public

[Mann, James H.]

Phil
We use either Intermec or Meterlogic scanners for circ, self check and PCReservation.
Although the public scanner are on stands, most of the time the public takes them off the stand to get a good angle on their card.

Subject: [OPLINTECH] Barcode scanners for the public

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
