OK - I think I understand what check digits are for:

Check digits are numbers that are based on a mathematical formula
devised to help detect typical data entry errors... or something like
that :^)

When Using Check Digits with koha:


Q0: What is the easiest way to allocate new koha library card numbers?

Q1: Is there a Check Digit "standard" that is generally used for library
card numbers?

Q2: Is there a list of card numbers suitable for use with Koha?

Q3: Is there a script that can be used with koha to generate a new
number on the fly when creating new members

Q4: Anything more that we need to know about using library card numbers
with koha?

Thanks,

R.
