Re: [LIS-Forum] Stock Verification - Expert advice needed

Yes, Mr Dinesh. Good one. This 'zero' the dependency on Barcode Scanner and investment. Further, the deployment of manpower can be scalable. Thanks and Regards, Sunil On Sun, Jun 20, 2021 at 8:26 PM Dinesh Ranjan wrote:

Hello Manoj, Just another suggestion which you may give a try for scanning barcode of books. I hope you and your staff may be using an android based smartphone which can be used as a barcode scanner. There are several inventory management softwares available which can easily scan the barcode label and it can be exported to a csv sheet for further processing in your library software or a excel sheet. You can try the app Stock Count ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sterling.stockcount) and prepare shelf wise list of scanned barcodes.

Its just an idea and fellow professionals doing stock verification can suggest more.

Hello Manoj,

Since the books are barcoded, use a barcode scanner (purchase a high-range wireless device). Currently, we are using -

Scanner. HSN: 8471 1452g_1d Honeywell barcode reader. 10meter radio range, instant data transfer via Cradle to USB. Approximately 2,000 records memory for out of range.

My experience says you can complete 10,000 books in 5 working days by a single person.

And, Koha supports.

Best wishes,
