If you don't apply bar code labels now, in about a years time you will again be removing items from the shelves, applying bar code labels and re-shelving every item.

I am not importing items (from MARC, EntryMate, Librarian's Helper or Ascii) into ResourceMateŽ and am not sending a list of isbn's to Jaywil Software for the EntryMate process.  I will be entering items myself (or using the ISBN Retreival / Import from Internet process).

For any additional items added using the Step by Step Item Add, make sure
