| **Note:** If you have pre-printed barcodes that do not fit a specific order and need to **manually** match books to barcodes, it is best to select the **batch HID** option rather than the **generate next item** system - this will allow you to edit unique book barcodes without creating books that are out-of-sequence in your wider catalogue stock. | **Note:** If you have pre-printed barcodes that do not fit a specific order and need to **manually** match books to barcodes, it is best to select the **batch HID** option rather than the **generate next item** system - this will allow you to edit unique book barcodes without creating books that are out-of-sequence in your wider catalogue stock. | ||

| - | **Note** that not all tags supported are contained within this list - this is mainly because many tags are used in different ways by different suppliers in a varied fashion, which makes their inclusion in the default mappings redundant. If you encounter tags in your MARC files that have a specific meaning, select the correct mapping and save the new mappings as a local preset. | + | **Note** that not all tags supported are contained within this list - this is mainly because many tags are used in different ways by different suppliers in a varied fashion, which makes their inclusion in the default mappings redundant. Your book supplier for example, or an SLS providing a resource box, might have used a tag in the 900.x range, which is quite flexible, to store their HID (Accession number, or barcode). If you encounter tags in your MARC files that have a specific meaning, select the correct mapping and save the new mappings as a local preset. |
