I’m being asked by an administrator about the possibility of changing the location 
of where our district places it barcodes on library books.  Our district uses 
Accelerated Reader and some of the faculty would like to change the placement of 
the barcode from the front upper left hand portion to another location. The concern 
is the barcode sometimes covers the title of the book. They like to show the cover 
of the book before they read the book to the class. My suggestion to the site 
librarian was to have the teacher show the title page inside the book.  Our 
district is considering changing the barcode to:

 

   1. The back of the book in the upper right hand corner
   2. The front of the book down in the lower left hand corner (not on the spine of 
the book)

 

Since our district has been automated since 1990 the barcodes have always been 
placed on the front upper left hand portion of the book. What is your thought on 
this?? 

 

Thanking everyone in advance for all your thoughts on this matter.
