Educational institutions use barcodes in a variety of applications.
Schools track students, teachers, products, papers and asset movement and related activities.
Barcoding helps daily period-by-period attendance entry due to accuracy and speed of input. Cafeterias and stores scan goods and reference a system for product identification, pricing, and inventory control.
Libraries barcode both materials and patron ID cards.
Mail and courier packages are barcoded.
Barcoding enables the rapid input of data into a computer, eliminating slow, tedious, and error-prone human input.
