<p class="MsoNormal">Hello Yul-Cat<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We’ve discovered rolls of single item barcodes that are duplicate rolls. We have also discovered that Voyager Catalog settings are sometimes incomplete, allowing people to assign duplicate item barcodes. As a result, we have many items
in Voyager that have duplicate item barcodes. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For example: <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The first barcode (on one roll) will be on a microform record.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The second barcode (a duplicate of the first barcode, but on a different roll) will be in an item for a book.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Result: when you do a search for that single item barcode, you will get two item records in return, for two totally unrelated items.
<o:p></o:p></p>
