What numbering system do I use for the booknum (bar code labels) and where do I start labeling and entering books into AUTO LIBRARIAN?
Simply start with the number 1 and begin with the books which circulate most often, or start with a bookshelf nearest the computer working your way down the shelves and across the room(s). First print a quantity of labels (say, 1500 or 50 sheets of the Avery 5160 label). Have the labels in front of you at the computer. Peel off the first label and place it on the upper right hand corner of the back of the book and add the book with that book number. Peel off the next label and place it on the next book and add the book into the system with that book number, etc., until all of the labels are used. Print a new quantity of labels (#1501 3000) and continue until all of the books are added to the Auto Librarian book database. As soon as a book is added it can be circulated.
