Subject: Re: Scanning SISAC Bar Code Symbol (Sandy Paul)

Our library does not currently use a system that can scan these codes, but
our consortium is looking for a new system to replace PA, and the ability
to use the SISAC codes is one of the criteria we would like included.  I
believe that getting the systems developers to use the codes would be
wonderful for everyone - maybe some attention could be put to this area.
Maybe other inventory systems could use it as well.  Hope this helps some, K.
