We use Datalogic Gryphon – Model GD4130-BK  barcode scanners at our staff stations. The are able to scan barcodes on smartphones and are omnidirectional.  They've worked great for us and other libraries in our area. We bought them through The Library Network, but they are available from any vendor that sells barcode scanners - google them.

We're also looking to replace our barcode scanners for models that can handle scanning barcodes from smartphones. Any suggestions regarding specific models?

We're in the market for some new barcode scanners for our circulation desk.  Right now we currently have some handheld, single line scanners on a stand.  We're looking to find something that's more omni-directional (IE: you don't have to perfectly orient the barcode to a single laser) and hopefully fairly compact and visually appealing.  I was curious if anybody had any recommendations,  as well as who they like to purchase their scanners through.  Thanks!
