[LM_NET] Tech: How do You Export Barcode Info from Sirsi Workflows

[Pete Madden <pmadden@ILLINOISALUMNI.ORG>]

Our district uses the Unicorn Workflows system by Sirsi for library
automation. Our version is 2003.0.11.1 and I'm wondering if any of you
who use this same system have found a way to create student account
barcodes at the beginning of each school year.

Currently we're using a separate barcode software program, Quick Draw.
Unfortunately, there's no interface between Quick Draw and Workflows, so
each year we are manually creating new barcode sets for each classroom
(in Quick Draw) and then updating each student account individually in
Workflows by scanning the newly created barcode; these changes then
reflect the new classroom assignment and user privileges.

If you are using this version (or a close relative) and have a way to
import/export student data to create barcodes, please let me know your
approach.

Thanks,

Pete Madden, Librarian
