<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">This is what we do--any handheld scanner will probably work. Right now we just have a USB scanner that plugs into a laptop—it doesn’t have any special drivers that I’m aware of, and Windows seems to recognize
it. If you have a bunch of boxes that need to be barcoded, it’s quickest to do as a bulk update under Manage Top Containers. You just scan and tab to the next field. We can do ~175 boxes in like 10 minutes!<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">So I know there has been discussion around this topic in the past but we are exploring the different options for implementing bar codes on our collections here and I am wondering if anyone knows
of a specific product that would work with ArchivesSpace and allow me to apply a barcode on a folder or box and then scan it with a handheld scanner with ArchivesSpace open to the barcode field of the Instance and have it automatically populate? Anyone know
if this is possible? Is anyone doing it and if so, with what type scanners? <o:p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Thanks in advance for any guidance the community can provide.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
