Can a scanner be use to enter books into our church library database?

I'm looking to purchase a library book management system for our church and would like some information concerning the book entry process for Handy Library Manager. Specifically, can a scanner be used to enter books into the database? What scanner(s) work best with your system?


The ISBN is encoded in the book's barcode. To search for a book, scan the barcode using the auto cataloging window in our library's search box. Please review the instructions on how to enter data using ISBN numbers.

Additionally, take a look at the list of recommended library barcode scanners and labels that are compatible with our software.
