Item barcodes, replacing

Quick Facts

  • Library item barcodes that are damaged or have been removed can be replicated and replaced at library branches.
  • Items with no previously assigned item barcode number should be processed as Add Brief Title and routed to Tech Services.
  • Replicating item barcodes can be done using the same process and label as the library card barcode.
