I’ve decided to order barcode labels for our items rather than print
We use labels from Vernon Library Supplies, just 6 digits and the machine readable lines. Although we're also cheating a bit and using the UPC barcodes on serials as the barcode for Koha. As long as the number is unique, the computer doesn't seem to care. We have a coding system for patrons and don't use barcodes for people. Might go that way in the future as the head honchos are considering employee ID's. Yes, Koha does assign a library number, at least in my opinion. Biblio or Biblio number is the field. Lenora 2010/2/5 Laurie Henry <LHenry@swcollege.net>: them
out ourselves. The Brodart form asks some questions I’m not sure how to answer.
Should we use a specific code (such as 2 or 3 or P or T) to identify a Patron or Item bar code?
Only if you want to. (But then, you can probably determine the difference visually... ;-)
Does our circulation software use an “Assigned Library Number”
unique to our
library?
Maybe this would equate to the holding branch of the item? Perhaps someone else can comment on what an "Assigned Library Number" is, but this will not affect Koha's ability to use the barcode.
Is a “Check Digit” required for our circulation software? If yes,
what
modulus are check digit (if known)?
No. I believe Code39 with no check digit is quite common. HTH.
