  1. Add Codabar barcode symbology support to the Alma Mobile app

    Our library is in the process of migrating to Alma and we have hundreds of thousands of items with Codabar barcodes on them. We would like to use the Alma Mobile app to reduce paper and increase efficiency, but the Alma iOS app does not currently scan the Codabar symbology.

    We are considering options such as purchasing Bluetooth scanners, but as there are other apps in the Apple App store which do scan codabar barcodes, it seems like this feature could be added to the Alma Mobile app. And this would be very helpful.

    Thank you for this idea!

    We are currently working on a new version of the Alma Mobile app and will be adding iOS support for Codabar barcodes within the next year.
