Replacing a Lost or Damaged Barcode
You may need to replace a borrower’s barcode. The borrower’s card may have been lost, or the barcode may no longer be readable because it is worn or damaged. If a barcode is ever used after it is marked lost in Horizon—either by the original owner or by someone else—a message displays explaining that this barcode has been reported lost. If this happens, you can do one of these things:
|
•
|
Activate the lost barcode. In this case the original owner would have two viable barcodes. |
|
•
|
Cancel the circulation procedure. In this case the lost barcode remains lost and unusable. |
|
•
|
Delete one of the barcodes in the borrower record and destroy the card with the deleted barcode. (If you recycle cards instead of destroying them, recycle the card.) In this case the original owner keeps only one viable barcode. |
