[Koha] Barcodes (with name of library)

[Caroline Cyr La Rose]

Hi Bill,

Are you using the "barcode range" option or printing labels from 
existing items? If you are printing barcode ranges, I don't think you 
can put anything else on the labels with Koha right now (see bug 
https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=12316). If you 
use any layout with bibliographic data and the items don't exist yet, it 
will return an error or an empty file.

There is no good workaround that I know of for that other than using a 
stamp like Heather says in her comment or having the library name 
preprinted on the barcode.

If you want, you can do it the other way around: create your items 
first, and then print the barcode labels.

Regards,

Caroline

P.S.: Koha's name is written Koha, not KOHA as it is not an acronym :)
