[ISLMA-Share] handheld inventory scanner

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

Have any of you done inventory with a Chromebook?  Do your scanners
recognize the Chromebook as a base?  My newer laptop (Mac) doesn't work
with our main scanner.  Ugh- sorry - jumbled thoughts - lots of questions!

Have any of you found or used a scanner with an iPod?
