ShelfLister

ShelfLister is a web-based application designed to be accessed over a network. Mobile computing platforms such as laptops, Tablet PCs, Pocket PCs, and Palm devices typically communicate with a network via a wireless protocol. The most common wireless protocol is the IEEE 802.11b standard (also known as Wi-Fi), which is used to access a wireless local area network (WLAN).

Although ShelfLister is optimized for the small screen of a Pocket PC or Palm device, it can be used on a laptop or any device that has a browser and is connected to the network. For mobile computing, the device must incorporate a Wi-Fi card. This assumes of course, that you have a wireless LAN installed in your library. Data entry is easier if the device also incorporates a barcode scanner.
