[LM_NET] Inventory Questions

["Zoe P. Midler" <zoe@MIDLER.ORG>]

I have a great opportunity to conduct an inventory on my entire collection
as I prepare to move to a new space. The collection is relatively small,
approx. 8,000 volumes. My contraints are: 1) my computer also hosts the
InfoCentre client, 2) I have only one barcode scanner (not wireless) and, 3)
it's just me, no clerk, and some very loyal parent volunteers. I may be able
to marshall my team of volunteers to help me conduct the inventory but
ideally I would like them to have hand held devices they can use and then I
just download their records into my system. I know this is do-able but I
could use some sage wisdom on how to approach this task and recommendations
on where I can rent or borrow hand helds that are configured for InfoCentre.

Any and all input would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
