Hi guys. Just have a tiny bit of a problem.

So we proposed to have a library system for our thesis proposal, and recently had our predefense for it. Our panel told us to add barcoding feature to our inventory subsystem. The problem is, since this is our first time to handle such interface, we don't know how the flow goes.

So how do you exactly use the barcode reader anyway (when it comes to registering the barcode of a certain book, and adding information related to that barcode)? Like, do you first scan the barcode of a book, encode it with all the necessary info, and then when it's been encoded into your database, can you simply just scan the book, and retrieve the information from your database with the help of that barcode?

A little help here, anyone?

Thanks,
Rie
