Best way to add barcodes to entire collection?

Is there a better way to add barcodes to all the books in our collection than navigating to the edit page of each individual book?

If you choose to display "Barcode" in one of your catalogue styles you can add the barcodes in catalogue view. Would be much faster.

Depends. Are you adding your own barcode or having Librarythng assign it?
Because there is a feature in settings where Librarything will assign barcodes for you as you go.

To add to >4 gilroy:, if you want LibraryThing to automatically assign barcodes to your catalog, check out your barcode settings here: https://www.librarything.com/settings/barcodes - I hope this helps!
