[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Bar Codes and ArchivesSpace

[Smallen, Vakil]

Hi Kate,

At George Washington University, we use handheld scanners with no special
software installed. The scanners are produced by Symbol Technologies and
plug into the computer through a USB port. You simply hold the trigger
button and scan the barcode and it populates the field.
