Generate a Duplicate Barcodes report (Textbook Manager )

To find textbooks that have the same barcode number across the district, district users with the Create Reports for the District permission can run the Duplicate Barcodes report.

Duplicates can cause problems when transferring textbooks from one school to another or when transferring patrons who have checked out the textbooks.

To generate the report:

  1. Log in to the district.

  2. Go to District Back Office.

  3. Select Reports > Textbook Reports.
  4. Under Catalog -- Titles & Copies, click Duplicate Barcodes. The report setup page appears.

    List duplicate textbook barcodes across the district report setup page.

  1. Use the Include drop-down to select the district or a group.
  2. To compare barcode numbers from only two schools, select the Only compare sites checkbox, and then select the schools from the lists.
    Note: The report is limited to the first 1,000 duplicate barcodes, unless you select this option.
  1. Click Run Report.
Report Contents

For each copy with a duplicate barcode number, the report lists the owning site name, the textbook title, ISBN, purchase price, and copy status.

Sort Order

The report is first sorted by barcode number, then site name.
