Is the ISBN always printed above the bar code symbol?

Bowker Bar Code Service - Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Positioning it somewhere separately from the symbol requires a scanner operator to search for the ISBN in those situations where key-entry is necessary and valuable seconds are lost in the transaction. The file we prepare from our software will include the ISBN.

What is my library bar code?

School Library Technical Support Knowledge Base
Your barcode number should be listed on the mousepad that we sent when you first started (assuming Antioch students receive the welcome packet). If you did not receive a mouse pad then you'll have to contact the library, as only they can look it up. Just tell them that you are an online student and were not issued an ID card. To make the request use their web form at http://lib.mansfield.edu/askref.html (but I'm not sure if they're open today due to the holiday).
