About LibraryWorld LibraryWorld.com is a Web application service designed to automate many tasks in a wide variety of libraries, including personal, school, special, business, academic and public libraries.

About Libraries A User can have one or more libraries. There are two ways to access a library. You can click on the 'Libraries' link in the navigation panel on the User's home page and then click on the name in the Libraries List window. Or, if the library has been selected to be on the front 'Libraries' panel, you can click directly on the name there. Once the library has been selected, you will be presented with the Library's home page. (General)

Where can I order barcode labels? You can order barcode labels from us. Labels ordered elsewhere are compatible with LibraryWorld as long as they are in Code 3 of 9 (Code 39) or Codabar formats. Unless you have a specific requirement to use Codabar barcodes, we recommend you use Code 39. (General)

How much do labels cost, and how long does it take me to receive them? Our labels are $50 per 1000 labels with a minimum order of 3000 labels. There is a shipping charge of $10.00. Usually labels are shipped and received 10 to 15 business days after ordering. If you would like overnight shipping there is an added cost of $25. (General)

With what number should I start my barcodes? You may start with whatever number you would like. We suggest using a 6-10 digit number. Keep in mind that all barcode numbers in the Catalog and Patron modules must be unique. An example of a common numbering system is: starting with 30000001 for the catalog and 20000001 for the patrons. When you order your labels, please make sure you have your beginning number available. (General)

I am ordering my barcodes from a publisher or book distributor with my book order. What format should I request? If this is the first time you have ever ordered barcodes, you should make sure your labels are in Code 3 of 9 or Code 39 format. If you already have barcodes that are being used in the library, you should order the same barcode format used previously. If you are not sure what format you're using, you should be able to fax an example to the vendor and they will be able to tell you the format. The most important thing about ordering additional barcodes is consistency. (General)

I already have a scanner. Will it work with LibraryWorld? More than likely it will. You may want to test it with our program before purchasing a new scanner. Some scanners may have to be reconfigured in order to work properly. (General)
