I recommend http://classroom.booksource.com/ to use a free online resource to organize your books and allow students to check them out.Confessions of a Frazzled Teacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16541360083470509620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-599666081241759888.post-48968604224115676382014-04-25T12:51:11.517-06:002014-04-25T12:51:11.517-06:00Howdy Holly!

It is a bit pricey, but super awesome software and can be used for a LOT of different projects, etc. Here is link to the site and program I use: http://www.waspbarcode.com/barcode-software/wasplabeler-and-barcode-maker-for-office<br />I hope it helps. We huge library owners have to stick together!!<br />Let me know if you have any more questions-<br />John<br /><br />P.S. One tip I will give is when you print, print 3-5,000 labels as they are consecutive and trying to print more is a pain! I printed 5,000 labels when I started and still have quite a few to last me!

I have found a scanner, but am unsure how to get the bar code labels for the books. Where did you purchase them or did you create them in Excel?

Now that I am in fifth, I let them but I have no system for keeping track of them. I'm pretty sure I've lost all of my Diary of a Wimpy Kid books! <br /><br />Sara :)<br /><a href="http://www.thecolorfulapple.com" rel="nofollow">The Colorful Apple</a>The Colorful Applehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12336266411841240877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-599666081241759888.post-14162623407079831902014-04-18T19:22:49.348-06:002014-04-18T19:22:49.348-06:00Thanks for the info.

I did read the reviews and it appears that there are still some problems with the app. My system is a bit of work, but I LOVE the control that I have and the fact that I don't have to wait for a database to update! :) Have a great day Ben, and again, thanks for your suggestion.Mr. Hugheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06426578721128357285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-599666081241759888.post-66717216303353583692014-04-14T11:04:11.169-06:002014-04-14T11:04:11.169-06:00You might try my Classroom Library Book Retriever ...You might try my Classroom Library Book Retriever app, it does everything automatically!
