Probably not what you're looking for, but if you can get ahold of an older unencrypted Square card reader (plugs into the headphone jack of any device, including iPad) [this library will read from track 1 or 2](https://github.com/sshipman/RhombusLib) and let you do whatever you want with the information. * * * ** ** **Nick Budak** Digital Projects Developer | Watzek Library Lewis & Clark College Portland, OR On Feb 27 2017, at 9:47 am, CORALL, JOHN <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > Hello, > > We are looking to purchase a magstripe card reader for an iPad our circulation staff use. We will be using the card reader to swipe our university IDs (FWIW, the information is on track #1 for our cards) into a form/textfield that exists on the web; so essentially we will want to use the card reader like a keyboard. > > Is anybody out there doing something similar with an iPad?

We currently have a version 1 iPad, but would be willing to upgrade to a newer model if someone out there has a working setup. > > Thanks in advance! > > -Joe > > \-- Joe Corall Senior Applications Developer Kent State University Libraries 1125 Risman Drive Kent, OH 44242 330-672-1649
