[Nhcoll-l] barcoding pros and cons

[Richard Morse]

Hi Folks,
Long time listener, first time post - our institution is debating whether or not to buy into barcoding devices. I am hoping to start a discussion on this board about the pros, cons and relative utility of such a system in relation to natural history collections and beyond. Or you can reply directly to my email! 
Your help and knowledge is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!   ---Rick
