book catalog/bar scanner combo?

Has anyone used a bar scanner with a PocketPC book/dvd catalog program?

Any recommendations?

Funny, I was thinking of this just today. My Axim is due in a couple of days and I was thinking of all the odd things I would love to do with it and using it as a bar code reader to inventory book and record collections would be very cool. I use Catraxx on my PC for my CD and book collection and it is fantastic. One of the first things I'll be doing is transfering a list to the axim so I have it on hand all the time. It would be great if I could scan bar codes and transfer them to ease data entry. I'll do a little research into this.

A number of companies make bar code scanners for libraries as a part of their cataloging/inventory/circulation system. Don't know if they have incorporated them into handhelds yet as I didn't make it to annual conference this year. You could contact one or two...do a google search under "library automation".

I tracked down this link for CF bar code scanner:
http://www.socketcom.com/product/IS5024-608.asp - pretty pricey at $250

i have one of the socket.com CF scanners, but use it with my PC rather than the X50V. if i get some spare time (ha!) i may try it with the axim.
