Re: [IUG] call # label printing

["Renee McBride" <crmcbride at hollins dot edu>]

Hi Sue -- You know, I actually have your instructions from when I had to
go through this 2 years ago! I'm familiar with the OCLC label program,
but you don't need it if you work with the Connexion client, because the
same commands are built into the client.

I'm also getting some good info about working through Millennium.

Thanks!
Renee

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.
