The Yale University Art Gallery is using TMS barcodes.

Over the last few years we did a total inventory and moved the collection
off-site, barcoding all objects and locations, and tracking them using the
TMS barcodes with Compaq Ipaqs as the scanners.

We were on the "bleeding edge" of this technology with Gallery Systems,
working with them to develop their barcode app.

We developed the barcode printers and Ipaq scanners ourselves to work with
the TMS barcodes.

Since then we did a collection move and barcode presentation at MCN2003 and
AAM2004. The AAM presentation is available on their website.

I'll be glad to answer any barcode questions. David Parsell
