<DIV></DIV>Very VERY low-tech solution.<BR><BR>Search Koha with a Google Android
phone:<BR>1) Install Barcode Reader app from the Android store ($0)<BR>2) Open
the app and go Menu > Settings.<BR>3) In 'Custom product search URL' and
enter http://<your server>/cgi-bin/koha/opac-search.pl?idx=nb&q=%s<BR>
<DIV class="ii gt" id=:115>4) OK and exit. Scan an item with an ISBN barcode.
Enjoy.<BR><BR>MArk<BR></DIV><BR><BR>
