Hi Sasha,

Thanks for all your good work at Woodlawn and your very clear & effective reporting.

The brief help on the barcode scanner is that it plugs into the keyboard PS/2 port on the computer, and then the keyboard itself plugs into the scanner device.  And you've got to have that keyboard involved ... It doesn't work to just have the scanner in the PS/2 and separately be using a USB keyboard for keyboarding purposes. 

I trust the librarian must have been working with Ms. Johnson to get the library automation software going.  This is something a school's Tech Coordinator is always going to be involved in.  BTW, do you recall what kind it is -- Follett or Athena or other?  Please let them know, If they have anything to work out with the installation they should bring more CUIP in -- both  Russ and I have experience with these programs.  

With best wishes for your exams & papers, and an enjoyable break,
