Priscilla, we type in the student's four digit barcodes in a middle school of six hundred students. I print out a patron list with their barcodes printed to the right of their names and leave the list in a ring binder just beside the checkout station. It works fine. I use their four digit student numbers as their library barcode number. That way I can have the district's VAX database of student records create a file with their updated information regarding classes and the rest of it. I upload this file to the computer and avoid having to hand enter all of this stuff, saving much time. We have had a couple of times when the wrong barcode was entered and thus material was checked out to the wrong student. It is a good habit to watch the screen and see that the correct name pops up when you enter the student barcode. Gary Childers GCHILD@ORCA.ESD114.WEDNET.EDU
