Hi again......most/all libraries here use "codabar" or "code39" symbologies for both patrons &/or collection....after all, the bar-code is only a numerical record number for each book/patron.....so within any circulation system
Monday, June 30, 2003 19:50 CDT Further to what Cliver correctly noted ... If one uses MARC21, in tag 852, one of the non-prescribed subfields is sometimes used to contain the significant digits of a bar code (in most collections between 4 and 6 at the end of a bar code, excluding the last, which is a check digit). In Athena, which I used in a school library, I believe it was $w. In other systems, I have seen it in 090 and 949 fields (system specified). So we'll all know, can someone from the development end tell us how/where Koha is storing this info? Steven F. Baljkas Koha neophyte Winnipeg MB CANADA cliver <cliver@alphalink.com.au> wrote: there
would be a 'data field' for that 'number'/record. At least ...that's my understanding.....all the best

Is there a certain symbology that Koha works with? I've been exploring the website and information, but so far haven't seen that information spelled out anywhere? Thanks so much for your help. Elizabeth
