[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Barcoding an Entire Collection From Scratch

[Duimovich, George]

BC Sitka has a FAQ on barcodes which may offer some help, in particular
see item 6 (How long will it take to rebarcode?)

nners&s[]=barcode
 
We have some locations without barcodes (one/two person shops) and are
basically just getting them set up with a new reader, some new unique
barcodes and letting them move forward with this by doing it through an
"on-the-fly" workflow (new items, more frequently circulated items,
etc.). So in our case, we anticipate that on-the-fly coding won't be
that onerous for those locations. For higher circulation locations, I
would definitely recommend assigning some resources to it asap (coop
students, temporary help, etc.). 
 
Hope that helps some,
 
George Duimovich

Subject: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Barcoding an Entire Collection From Scratch


Our library currently has no electronic index/tracking and therefore
none of our books have been barcoded. For our initial rollout does
anyone have any suggestions as to a process we might follow?
