Humble Barcode Rides Again : Automating Circulation at Quatrefoil Library
Description
Barcodes and automated circulation systems may seem like antiquated technology, yet they are still very useful in the inventory management of a small volunteer-run special library. We will discuss our 18 month project: deciding to move away from a ‘pocket cards and stamps’ system, selecting an low-cost ILS, barcoding 20,000 items, inventory, and privacy policies and procedures in a small, all-volunteer, community library.
