Barcode Reading Application

Question

Hey all,

I have been given a project in college to develop a standalone application for College library which can read the barcodes from books and make the necessary entry in the db.

I have got the module to read barcode from the book and return the read text. I have never before in any project interacted directly with the hardware. We would be using normal barcode readers.

Can you please help me as to how to go about this project. I have found api's on google which can read barcodes from image files but not directly from barcode scanners.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you.
