Re: [LM_NET] Barcode position

[Bruce Seiden <b_seiden@YAHOO.COM>]

We also put  the BC on the back lower corner vertically. However, our software 
(Mandarin M.3 v1.6) allows for printing barcodes and spine labels using label sets 
with 2 BC stickers. We use Highsmith #16890.  Each printing give a large BC and 
spine tap for outsidne and a small BC sticker that we put on the inside back cover 
as backup for safety in case to outer BC is damaged.

The recent discussion of where to put barcodes came to mind just now as
I processed a new donated book. I put the actual barcode on the back,
lower right corner. A second, smaller sticker with just the number goes
on the front, generally in the upper left. The front sticker is placed
where it doesn't obscure anything really important. Both stickers ALWAYS
get covered with something—mylar jacket on books with jackets, wide tape
on paperbacks (making sure that spine labels and barcode stickers are on
before covering), or label protectors on hardcover books without jackets.

I'd have to ask the previous librarian why she selected those two
places, but I'm guessing it is because the number can be easily read
when the book is pulled out slightly from either the front or the back,
since both positions are near the spine.
