How to enter barcode numbers?

Use this procedure in the following situations:

  1. Your books already have barcode labels, and you want to use them.

In the Library Main catalog, the barcode value cannot be empty. You must enter it manually; if you do not provide a value, the program will automatically create a unique one.

In most cases, you can leave the BARCODE data field empty, and the program will generate a unique barcode value for all your new items.


Use Library_New to catalog new items. Review new items.

  1. If you have barcode labels on your books, click Edit.
  2. In the Edit Item window, click Copy Info tab, click on the BARCODE box, and enter or scan the barcode value.

If you leave the BARCODE field blank, the system will automatically create the barcode value. Barcode values are created when you move items from the Library New table to the Main Library catalog.
