Barcode Information: Printing and Purchasing

Q: How do I print a set of barcodes by classes to use in the library?

A: Click on the PDF icon for the settings to format the report for barcodes to use at your circulation desk.

Q: Where can I purchase preprinted barcodes?

A: Barcodes can be ordered from any barcode vendor that you prefer.  If you are using Follett barcodes and wish to continue ordering them go to Follett Software Company.

Q: What barcode symbology is recommended for Destiny?

A: Stan Winters, Follett Sales Rep., says,  "I always recommend going to a Generic Code 39, 14 digit barcode. It should look like this:

          3 AHS 10 XXXXXXXX  

•      where the 3 is a material designator for books and 4 is for textbooks
•      AHS is the district ID (in this case "Astoria High School")
•      10 is a building ID (each building has a unique ID)
•      and the Xs is the actual barcode number."
