how about user defined code in CSV format?
i.e. the actual barcode #, and text to be read below it...
This could be implemented but will take some work. I would suggest filing a feature request for it.
in this specific situation the librarian(a volunteer) buys books from where-ever...she already has barcodes numbered up to 27000, and would like to continue from 27001 - ABCDE...
I don't believe she uses the 'acquisitions' section of Koha when she buys new books as she gets them wherever she can.
So, it would be great if I could specify the code-29(IRCC) starting at 27001 up to say 33000, with the name of the school printed under the barcode as is her current format.
There are a variety of auto sequencing options for barcode numbering in Koha 3. See cgi-bin/koha/admin/systempreferences.pl?tab=Cataloguing and the autoBarcode preference. It would not be too hard to add the ability for the user to set the starting number in a simple incremental sequence. Again, submit a feature request so we don't forget to add it.
