We turned our 5 digit student IDs into barcodes ( Their library
number is also their lunch ID, as well as their student number and
internet PIN) -- We just used Destiny's neat report for barcodes,
and printed a sheet of barcodes for each class. I wanted everyone on
one page, so I did it with label format , so it comes 3 across, but
the teachers name isnt on the page ( because supposedly, you'd be
peeling off the labels) . I just write the teacher's name at the
bottom of the page, and slip in into a sheet protector, and then ino
a 3 ring binder divided by homeroom. When a child enters or leaves
the class, it is very easy to print a new page, and not have to worry
about re-alphabetizing business card sized library cards ( which we
used with Library World -- putting each barcode on a business card
and then filing by homeroom in business card protector pages) .
With HS/MS, who don't usually use the library by homerooms , you
could print out pages by grade level.
