[WEB4LIB] Re: Brainstorming on Barcodes

[Dennis VanArsdale]

Try: labels to inventory equipment.  The barcodes must be compatible with the 
existing numbers on equipment, but work within the INNOPAC 
system (as set up at that site).  Then the INNOPAC inventory 
function could be used to inventory equipment as well as the 
collection(s).
BTW: are you thinking about being able to output label text to label 
printers as well as dot matrix /inkjet / laser printers?
