These guidelines are for barcoding general collections or barcoding protective containers for collection material. Special collection materials (RMC and Kheel Center) are exempted from these guidelines and should follow their own protocol determined by Rare & Special Processing Guidelines.
A. General Rules for Barcode Placement: Barcode goes on the front of the book or container, approximately .50” from the top edge and .50” from the right hand edge. Preferred barcode placement is horizontal but placement can be vertical. Any space can be used except the upper left corner of the cover, which is reserved for call number label. If possible, do not obscure cover printing. When applicable, accompanying material should not be barcoded and would be reflected in the catalog record on material piece counts. Do not apply the barcode to the dust jacket unless the dust jacket is being retained (see special situations below).
