Barcoding-When the title is IN the database

Updated November 2024

Barcoding refers to adding a library's own copy of an item to a title that already exists in the database. In general this involves entering only item-specific information, such as Item Type, Home Location, Item Categories, etc. Here is a document for barcoding a copy when the title is ALREADY in the database 

If libraries have multiple items to add of the same type (ex: a stack of DVDs), properties can be set to streamline the adding of copies; instructions for setting properties can be found in this document: Setting Properties.

If additional help is needed with barcoding, contact Stephanie Thomas at the Oshkosh Public Library.  WTCS members may also contact Crystal Marschall at WCTS.
