[ISLMA-Share] Setting up new library software

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

Discuss your plans with other library specialist(s) in your district. We
had different schools standardize differently which made things more
difficult. Discuss where you want to put the book bar codes before the
transition happens. One school put them inside the book which made checking
in and out more complicated, as well as inventory. We put ours on the
outside back cover near the spine so that inventory was so much easier! :)
