Dear Colleagues,

I need help figuring out what barcode encoding to use with Koha when 
ordering library cards. Barcode encodings which are available include 
Code 39 & Codabar. Is there a specific encoding which Koha requires or 
likes. Also, the library card vendor wants to know if a check digit is 
required; the check digit signals the barcode reader where the beginning 
and end of the content is, correct?

Thank you,
