Barcode Import for Catalogue Items
Hello, I have a library that have been cataloging its collections and unfortunately, they were not inserting barcodes in the add item part during cataloging. Now they current have 2500 items catalogoued and they would like us to insert barcodes to the items, is there a way that i can be able to generate barcodes and insert them into the collection. Any help on archiving this would be highly welcomed. -- Hughes Dimka Hopewell Solutions Services Nigeria Ltd No.15 Adekunle Kuye Street, Off Agbonyin Street, Off Adelabu Street, Surulere,Lagos State Nigeria tel: +2348066951910 email: hdimka@gmail.com
Hi Hughes, Koha doesn't have a feature to batch add barcodes. You could use SQL to update the items table. If you do that, you should reindex after to make sure that the search index contains the new item information. You should also be able to export the records, add item barcodes, and reimport them overlaying the existing items. Hope this helps, Katrin On 14.12.2017 14:33, hughes dimka wrote:
