Hi Katie

1 Cheap option people have used with success, is a laptop on a cart
(assuming you have shelving carts) with just a plain old barcode scanner
plugged in. (The usb ones power themselves from the laptop). That works
as long as the cord is nice and longish :)

Otherwise any portable barcode scanner that can output the scanned barcodes as a
text file will work just fine. I don't have any specific recommendations
because prices in $ NZ won't help you much :)
