Barcodes come from offsite tape vendor. They're a storage company, so they
store more than just tapes; they'll do documents, etc.
Of that 10 digits, the first 6 are our customer number, I believe. So they
actually use just the last 4 digits to identify a specific tape, for
example. But the barcode reader in the libraries won't handle more than 8
digits, so that's all just a moot point.
