- Lc's Linked Data Service
Exciting news from LC. We are experimenting with a new feature of LC's Linked Data Service designed to more easily make use of the available data by providing a simple way to import the data into OWL ontologies, especially via OWL editors such as...
- Printing Labels
Looking for advice. I want to print card labels. I hear there is a problem with spine labels fading, sometimes rather quickly, at least on the Dymo printers. Since we are a research library, materials are rarely weeded. I can't afford to redo all...
- Using Barcodes In Search
Brian Surratt at Texadata mentions he is having some success scanning barcodes on the back of books when doing ISBN searches on OCLC. It is not yet 100% accurate, many of these numnbers are in the 024 field. Yet it is working and will only get better...
- Digital Media
I'm all for labels that make our cataloging more accurate, informative and save time. This proposed bill sounds good to me:Senator Ron Wyden recently introduced the Digital Consumer Right-to-Know Act (DCRKA), a bill that would require entertainment...
- Marc Field 024
I just don't understand why field 024, Other Standard Identifier, is not used more widely. It takes no time to scan in the barcodes on the item. They are unique identifiers for the item and so can aid in retrieval. Yesterday I downloaded some very...

Barcodes
Barcode generators have been a topic on the Perl4Lib discussion list recently.
KBarcode is a barcode and label printing application for KDE 3. It can be used to print every thing from simple business cards up to complex labels with several barcodes (e.g. article descriptions).KBarcode comes with an easy to use WYSIWYG label designer, a setup wizard, batch import of labels (directly from the delivery note), thousands of predefined labels, database management tools and translations in many languages. Even printing more than 10.000 labels in one go is no problem for KBarcode.Additionally it is a simply xbarcode replacement for the creation of barcodes. All major types of barcodes like EAN, UPC, CODE39 and ISBN are supported.Another is available on-line. It makes 1-30 Codabar barcodes at a time, given the 5-digit prefix and what follows it.
