[aisle] Print your own bar code labels?

[Michele Whisenhunt]

I agree with Karen Doyle.  I print with Follett Destiny, but getting them
lined up can be tricky.  Also I have found that I have to put a toner
printer, and not one that is running low.  I actually like ordering
barcodes from Follett because I do not spend the money on the clear labels,
and they always work.  But I only do that once a year, so I also print my
own.
