<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">As far as I can tell there are no problems resulting from having items in Koha with no barcodes. There are probably some sorting issues somewhere along the
line, though. And a report should be able to pull up all the items without barcodes, so they could be managed that way (no, I don’t have the report SQL to pass on).<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">On a related note, we don’t barcode manuscripts in our collection (not yet, anyway) and, more difficult to manage, the “bound with” items we have where someone
bound 3 eighteenth century pamphlets together. Only the first one of those can have the barcode; the two pamphlets bound behind deserve (and get) their own bib record and item records, but I can’t assign them the same barcode as the first item (sure, I could
give each its own unique barcode, but there is only 1 physical item so I don’t). It looks wrong in the staff module to have a blank space under barcode but the public doesn’t see that.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">Anyway, my point here is that there doesn’t seem to be any problem from having those book items in Koha with no barcodes – none of those rare books OR the electronic
databases and websites will be “checked out” so they’ll always show up as available. Which they are.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I'm wondering how people are cataloguing websites and other electronic resources so that they are able to be searched by collection codes. I have trolled the net looking for discussions but have not found anything pertinent yet. The nub
of the problem is that if they don't have attached items you cannot enter item types and ccodes, however I don't want to assign barcodes. Are there hidden snags if you have items without barcodes? What happens at stocktake when you have no actual item to stocktake?
Is there a better way to do this? I have used item types to assign borrower privileges and ccodes as search points and I am just about to move from 3.2 to 3.4.<o:p></o:p></p>
