[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] inventory question
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!

It is going to depend on the strength of your wireless. As long as signal is good you should not have a problem. David M.

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] inventory question
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.
