Just a crazy thought, but it could be useful for small libraries or to use a
smartphone/tablet as a mobile terminal for librarians.
Use a JavaScript library like quaggaJS [0] to turn smartphone cams (or webcams
on notebooks) into a barcode reader.
-) Add an option to the system preferences to enable JS barcode reader (e.g.
"Use mobile device cam as barcode reader: disabled | enabled | on mobile
devices only | user/session defined ...")
-) If enabled, an additional button (e.g. with font awesome barcode symbol)
next to the header search field (e.g. between input form and submit button)
-) The barcode button opens a modal with the barcode scanner to get patron id
or item id
-) Also add a barcode button to the checkout field in circulations for reading
item barcode.
Example implementations are available at [1] and [2]
