<p>Hello,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>We are planning to migrate from a 5- to 7-digit alpha-numeric barcode for patron accounts and item records to the standard 14-digit numeric barcode.
<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I'm hoping to find a unique (or relatively unique) 4-digit identifier. Since I've been told there isn't a national registry for this anymore, I thought I'd just check with all of you on the listserv whether your library uses any of the following three combinations
as your library's code:</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>5141</p>
<p>2077</p>
<p>4380</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>If you use one of those four (or know a library that does), please let me know. Please reply off-list to cutlerlibrary@live.com

<p><br>
</p>
<p>Also, if you have a supplier you love for barcodes/library cards, could you please share that information.
<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Lastly, do you use a check-digit in your barcode and if so, which symbology do you use?</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Thank you very much!</p>
