    It would save some time and trouble at many libraries if barcodes were case insensitive.

    This should, of course, be controlled by a setting, so as not to break any systems which actually have barcodes that differ only in capitalization. But I suspect that isn’t many systems.

    We are going to run into this being a problem very soon, we are looking at registering K-12 students using their district ID number + a alpha prefix… and it will be a pain in we have to specify the case that the prefix needs to be in.
