Every item should be given an Accession number starting from 00001. The bar-coded sticky labels included with the package for new users represent these numbers and should be affixed to each item. Additional labels can be ordered if necessary through the MyMLS service portal.

 

·We recommend the user inserts the labels on a white or light coloured background if possible. This will maximise the accuracy when a barcode reader is used to scan the label.

·Since the barcode reader is a non-contact device, it is not necessary to laminate the labels for protection.

·We advise that the labels should be inserted as each item is catalogued. Items already catalogued can then be recognised because they have a label.

·Number the resources from 00001 upwards. It does not matter which order the resources are numbered or whether there are any gaps.
