| Abstract: | Barcoding though relatively an old technology,
is one of the important steps in library automation
and is still not widely used in libraries in India.
This paper discusses the benefits of barcode
technology and gives guidelines for selecting the
hardware/softwares highlighting the features of
scanners and printers.
The paper also gives guidelines for retrospective.
conversion, which becomes the core issue in any
library with a very large collection. Some tips
necessary for software customization have also
been provided. This paper is a case study based
on the barcoding and retrospective conversion
project undertaken at IGIDR Library, Mumbai,
India. |
