OWWL Barcodes

Each library has a unique barcode prefix, as detailed in the table above.

The prefixes are preceded by a lead digit which indicate Item ID or User ID, as well as barcode symbology.

• Lead digits 3 (Codabar) or 5 (Code 39) are used for item IDs
  • 3 2122 0000 0001 C is a Marion Codabar item ID
  • 5 2112 0000 0001 C is an Arcade Code 39 item ID
• Lead digit 2 is used for borrower cards.
  • i.e.: 2 2125 0000 0001 C is the beginning of a Newark user ID

Following the prefixes are the actual identifying numbers. The first digit of these numbers (the sixth digit on the actual card) differentiate between cards and keytags (fobs).

• Cards start with a 2: - ---- 20000001C
  • Symbology: Extended Code 39
• Keytags (fobs) start with a 3: - ---- 30000250 C
  • Symbology: Interleaved 2 of 5
• Combo cards / keytags (fobs) start with a 4
• Booklet cards start with a 5
• Booklet keytags (fobs) start with a 6
• Booklet combo cards / keytags (fobs) start with a 7

Older identifying numbers may start with a 0 or 1.
