Re: [IUG] call # label printing

["Sue E Boggs" <boggs at ups dot edu>]

Have you tried the OCLC label program? We used to use that. It is a free
program and will print just spine labels on a sheet. You can decide
where on the sheet to start so you can reuse sheets. I can send you the
instructions we used.
