[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] inventory question

[Mary Toma]

I use wireless for many tasks when I am in my 4 branches with my laptop.
I've never done inventory but I see no reason why that would be any
different.  We're rebarcoding some of our old materials and we take a
wireless laptop into the stacks to do that.

Hi everyone,

We're planning inventory for our libraries and I was thinking of using
laptops with metrologic scanners to check in items as we go along the
shelves. I know this is probably a tough question to answer, but do you
think using a wireless connection would be unwise for this task? Would it
make more sense to use off-line circ?

Thanks!
Gordana
