Recommended Remediation per Ex Libris

CAWG is coordinating these remediation projects and will share information with each institution's cataloging contacts and ILS Coordinators. Please email CAWG Chair Annie Glerum (aglerum@fsu.edu) for any questions.

Duplicate barcodes

Remediating any duplicate or unintentionally empty item barcodes is required. In Alma, duplicate barcodes are not supported. Scanning one of the items will result in an error message and item will not be retrieved.  Non-barcoded items, although supported, cannot circulate in Alma.

Note: if your institution is not in this list, it is because you did not have duplicate or empty barcodes.
