We're setting up Koha to use in our school library.  This is our first 
automated system.  How do barcodes work with Koha?  I'm looking at ordering 
them for the first time ever.  Is there a certain number of digits that is 
required?  What about check digits?  A library system code?

Does anyone have a recommendation for a reliable, good quality, but 
inexpensive bar code reader that will work with Koha?

Thank you!
Amber Amland
