We LOVE the UPC codes it makes receiving material a snap! Midwest, where we purchase a major portion of our media included the UPC in the brief mark record that they supply for us free. Nice service and really speeds up the processing of material.

Subject: [Videolib] Are UPC codes important to video selectors?

Hello Wise People,
A subscriber emailed me today to ask if Video Librarian could start
including UPC codes in the header information of reviews. It's been over 20
years since I was working in the library, so I might be a little out of
touch on ye olde day-to-day. Two decades ago, ISBN was king (and we still
include those) and no one gave a rat's patootie about UPC codes. Has there
been a tectonic plate shift that I missed? In short, are UPC codes now
important bits of information?
Best,
Randy
