Hi, Bruce,

Just saw this message and since our lab components are being ordered as we
speak, I'm now trying to determine what kind of barcode reader and tracking
software we need.  You already answered the first question, but what kind of
software do you use to keep track of your materials (checking out) and of
student assistance (if any).

Thanks,

Jon
