Member Barcodes
Introduction
The Montana Shared Catalog uses Codabar
barcodes. They are a 14 digit numeric barcode using Check Digit Calculation Option Mod 10. The digits are:
- Digit 1 indicates the type of barcode: 2 = patron, 3 = item
- Digits 2-5 (or 6*) identify the institution
- The next 8 (or 7*) digits identify the individual patron or item
- Digit 14 is the checksum
This is a list of the first 5 (or in some cases 6*) digits of the 14 digit barcode for each of the member libraries. Patron barcodes start with "2" and item barcodes start with "3".
* Both the BridgerNet Group and the Hi-Line libraries use 6 digits to identify their institutions. There are also some main library and branch groups (i.e. Mineral County) that use 6 digits.
