Re: [Koha] Advice on barcode replacement/central catalog
While I agree that it is easier to update barcodes before hand, we had some libraries do this after the fact so I put together a very simple Koha plugin to allow you to scan an item's barcode, then scan a new barcode and have it changed in the system.
