[NHCOLL-L:4031] Barcodes in natural history collections

[Bentley, Andrew Charles]

Hi all

 

For those of you who use barcoding in your natural history collection - I am trying to find out which barcode system (type?) is the most commonly used.  There are a number of different formats:

 

2of7, 3of9, Bookland, Codabar, Code128C, Code39, EAN13, Int2of5, Monarch, NW7, Std2of5, UCC128, UPCA, USD3, USD4

 

Thanks

 

Andy
