Just curious. We wrestled with barcoding serials years ago when I was with
Geac. The problem then was, "what happens when you bind a year's worth?"
Which of the 12 barcodes is used, or do you take them all off, and put
another on the bound volume? If the latter, what do you do to solve the
"bound with" problem? I think this may have been addressed by things like
the "summary of holdings tag" etc. Or is it still a problem?
