[Michlib-l] Barcode Scanner question

[Galesburg Charleston Memorial District Library]

I need opinions, and I know that there is never a shortage of those on the listserv!
 
We need to replace our barcode scanners - one is broken, the other one is old and tired. I've looked at Demco; their prices range from $160 - $700! I've also been looking at Amazon where prices are much more reasonable (less than $100).
 
Does anyone know whether I can use the less expensive scanners? Have you used them at your library, and if so, what was your experience?
 
You can reply to me off list at galesburglibrary at hotmail.com.
 
Thanks!
 
Helena
