At UCL our barcodes are attached to slips of acid-free paper which are inserted into the books.  Specially-housed items are double-barcoded:  a duplicate barcode is attached to the container.  One container may contain several items so may bear several barcodes.

 

Hope this helps,

 

Andrew

Afternoon all,

 

Just a quick question : do any of you use barcodes or RFID tags on your special collection books and if you do, how have you attached the barcodes/tags to the items? (i.e. directly, an alternative non-permanent method, other?).

 

Thanks!

Andrea
