To the many kind folks who responded to my query about
barcodes. Many, many thanks.
Two of you recommended the article by William Albert
Manning "Automated Systems in Museums: the Use of Bar Code Technology in
Collections Management" in Museum Management and Curatorship, Vol. 18, No.1,
1999:9-18. I recommend it to anyone interested in barcoding
issues.
Sincerely,
