 What is BARCODE? The importance of BARCODE.

Types of BARCODE used in libraries.

Difference between the types of

BARCODE.

Barcode

A series of printed lines

and spaces of varying widths which represent numbers, and/or letters) symbols,

Barcode Reader
Is an electronic device for

reading printed barcodes.

It consists of a light source,

a lens and a light sensor translating optical

impulses into electrical

ones.

Importance of Barcode

1. INCREASED ACCURACY 2. HIGH SPEED 3. MORE TIMELY INFORMATION 4. LOWER LABOUR COST 5. BETTER SERVICES

Types of Barcode used in Library

Barcode Symbology:
1.

Codabar (or Code-A-Bar)

2.

Code 39 (or Code 3 of 9)

Codabar

Codabar generally consists of a string of 14 digits:

Code 39

This barcode accepts only upper case characters 'A' to 'Z', the numeric digits '0' to '9' and the special characters - . [space] $ / + %.

What is retrieval of information?

When is the use of retrieval of information? Tools for retrieval.

Information Retrieval

IR is a component of an information system. An

information system must make sure that everybody it is meant to serve has the information needed to accomplish tasks, solve problems, and make decisions, no matter where that information is available.

Use of Information Retrieval

Library use Information Retrieval systems to provide access to books, journals and other documents.

IR is also used to facilitate semistructured

search such as finding a document where the title

contains Java and the body contains threading.
