Accession number – Is a one-time occurring number that is printed on a special barcode label which is then placed on the inside of each state-adopted textbook in use by LISD.
Barcode – Textbooks issued to students in Lewisville Independent School District have a special barcode placed in them. This barcode is usually found on the inside cover of a textbook. The barcode is printed and placed in each textbook by the Textbook Warehouse staff. The barcode has the ISBN at the top, followed by the name of the textbook and the Accession number is on the bottom of the barcode.
- How does LISD keep track of my child’s textbook? When a student is issued a textbook, the student’s ID, ISBN and Accession number are scanned – linking the textbook to a particular student. In this way, we have a computer record of each textbook and which student it is issued to.
ID – (Identification Number) is a unique number that is assigned to each student in LISD. This number is used to keep track of student records, attendance, and is also used when assigning textbooks to students.
ISBN – (International Standard Book Number) is a unique, internationally utilized number code assigned to books for the purposes of identification and inventory control. ISBNs may be 10 digits or 13 digits long. If you would like to convert an ISBN from 10 digits to 13 digits (or vice versa), you can do so at the following website
MLC – (Multi List Code) is a 4-digit number assigned to state-approved courses by the Texas Education Agency.
