Just my .02 --
The OPAC, whatever automation system you use, includes a call number to use
to locate the book on the library shelves. Without a spine label on the book
spine how do you identify the call number for correct shelving and for the
patron to see and locate the book on the shelf? Barcodes are much larger
than a spine label and cannot be seen when the books are on the shelf. New
cataloging, or not, a spine label is a means to find or replace a book on
the shelf.
