Re: Gen/TECH->Help with Barcoding time??

What do you mean by "barcoding?"  Application of a barcode number only?
With or without a protector?  Has the data already been entered or will
you be verifying it as you put baracodes on?  If the data has already
been entered, do you have to match the barcode to the specific book?

If the data hasn't been entered, will you be writing the barcode number
on the shelflist card for later entry?
