Ummmm...don't we teach that students are looking for a spine label to
locate the book? My barcodes are on the back cover and are not visible
at a glance as one surveys the shelf. Even my smart barcodes aren't
going to do anything for locating a book on a shelf.

What if you don't have smart barcodes? Then what?

Subject: Tar: Cataloging question
Good Morning, group!
At a meeting last night it was mentioned that barcodes need to be
streamlined and that books no longer need spine labels. Right now,
information on the barcode provides title, call number and numerals of
the
barcode as well as the symbol that the scanner reads. I'd like to hear
not
only from the group, but from people teaching cataloging about this new
idea. Comments were made that so many of us in the district finished
our
degrees so long ago tat we were out of touch. My own last cataloging
class
was in 2007. Apparently, that apparently makes me a dinosaur in
cataloging.
This isn't so much a cataloging issue as a system (Destiny) issue.
Bring on those comments and I shall pass them on.
Leslie
