Subject: Using the SISAC barcodes for checkin

Law Library journal now prints a SISAC barcode on the cover of
its issues (barcode that represents the ISSN, chronology and enumeration).
This has caught the interest of our library director, who wants to
encourage publishers of law review to follow suit and support this
emerging technology.

At the University of Washington Law Library we have just begun to convert
our manual checkin file to the Innovative Interfaces system.  The staff at
Innovative have told me that the feature to allow using the SISAC bar code
for checkin is still under development and has not reached the testing
stage.

We are interested in discovering whether any libraries
are either using or testing this feature with systems from other
automation vendors.

Thank you,
