I use wireless for many tasks when I am in my 4 branches with my laptop. I've never done inventory but I see no reason why that would be any different. We're rebarcoding some of our old materials and we take a wireless laptop into the stacks to do that.

I know this is probably a tough question to answer, but do you think using a wireless connection would be unwise for this task? Would it make more sense to use off-line circ? Thanks!
