Scanners

For convenient circulation and inventory scanning, consider the TLC Bluetooth Wireless Scanner, a laser barcode scanner that incorporates Bluetooth® wireless technology for freedom of movement. The scanner is lightweight and comfortable to use, and its extended memory holds 2,500 barcodes.

TLC also offers the MS9520 USB Scanner, which translates a book's pre-printed EAN barcode to an ISBN search in TLC's cataloging software.

Barcode Labels

Barcode labels are the basis for easy control over your library's inventory. They enable the smooth checkin and checkout of library items, in addition to the easy inventory of circulating items. You can affix barcode labels on patron cards, then scan the label for fast access to a patron's account during the checkout process. TLC can provide you with generic or custom barcode labels and the assistance to use them.

Unique Patron Cards

Many different styles and colors can be used to create a unique patron card for your unique library. All cards have a synthetic core and gloss finish for durability. The back of the cards have a gloss finish with optional signature panel. TLC offers a diverse assortment of full-size and keychain patron cards.
