I need some references/literature/pointers/etc. regarding portable bar code
readers.  Here's the situation.  I work for a community college district.
Each year we have to take physical inventory of our equipment.  I was 
approached with the idea of using bar code tapes on the equipment and going
around with a portable recording device to read the codes and store the 
information to be later transferred to a PC, converted and send to the
mainframe.
Anyone out there have experience?  Can you point me to a source of information?

Thanks.
Bob
