Abstract
In 13 days, 68 staff members,working with volunteers and student assistants, barcoded 400,000 books. Barcode labels, containing location designation, call number, and barcode number, were produced from and linked to the bibliographic database. Recommendations for other institutions anticipating a similar “crash program” are included.
