Barcoding Certification Requirement and Refresher Training

Due to frequently occurring errors during barcoding, we are proposing that all current and future SHARE barcoders take Barcoding Refresher Training every two years. The training will address the most common questions, errors, and violations that are reported. After training is completed, the barcoder will be certified until their next renewal period. The proposed Certification Requirement Policy is on the SHARE website.
