Abstract
Portable scanners are versatile, and can speed up many routine jobs, from inventory work to adding repetitive notes to barcoding. They can be especially handy for large systems with centralized processing. However, setting them up isn't necessarily an intuitive process, but it's definitely a collaborative one. The University of Iowa 's experience getting a portable scanner up and running had many twists and frustrations before the scanner was operational. Chief among these were getting information into the scanner and back out in a useful manner and interfacing the scanner with Note Pad and Excel.
