How many barcodes per item?

[Jacque Childress <jacquec@WEB-ACCESS.NET>]

Good Morning,
I need some advice.  I'm getting ready to attack my third school
automation project.  With the first two, I only used one barcode for each
item and it worked just fine.  If an item 'lost' it's barcode, I'd simply
reassign it another.  However, I'm hearing pros & cons now of using TWO
barcodes per item (same numbers, but in two different locations on the
same item).  Of course, 2 barcodes per item costs more but I'd like to
hear from others who have a comment on this.  Do you use one barcode or
two, and why?
Thanks!
