Barcodes Blues

New scanners arrived today. New problem...

Our new scanners read ALL the barcodes we have. Yippee! Not all books are cataloged in the system with the proper length (amount) of digits. Bummer!!!

Bottom line we're forced to re-catalog (number) thousands of titles to straighten out the problem. Once all titles are matched up correctly we should alleviate all problems with barcodes.

The time it will take to re-tool each record will be tremendous...bummer!!!
