The application of barcode technology in circulation system of a library and information technology is most successful due to its speed, accuracy and reliability. This paper tells us barcodes, objectives of barcoding, and uses. This also inform us different symbologies, working of barcode system, reading of barcodes, stationary required and aspects for printing the barcode labels.Barcodes have found varieties of applications in different fields, including libraries and information centers it describes in detail barcode based circulation system and how it overcomes all the difficulties in manual and computerized system. This paper also elaborates its applications for library and non-library functions and advantages made through this technology.
INTRODUCTION: WHAT ARE BARCODES?
Barcode technology plays an important role automating the functions of the library, especially the circulation. Its application increases the speed and accuracy in operations.
Barcodes Technology provides a simple and inexpensive method of encoding text information that is easily read by inexpensive electronic readers. Bar coding also allows data to be collected rapidly and with extreme accuracy. A bar code consists of a series of parallel, adjacent bars and spaces. Predefined bar and space patterns or "symbologies" are used to encode small strings of character data into a printed symbol. Bar codes can be thought of as a printed type of the Morse code with narrow bars (and spaces) representing dots, and wide bars representing dashes. A bar code reader
