[aisle] Accelerated Reader labels in library books

[Christine Wilson]

Have your catalog service add the AR function to your account.  You'll then
be able to print the labels and search by AR level, among other things.

If you use Destiny, the label template will be under Reports, Library
Reports,  Labels, and then I forget - spine labels, I think. I kept a
Resource List of new items cataloged, and printed the labels when I got a
critical mass. You go to the Print Labels function, and print by your
resource list. We puchased the Follet labels, so they fit perfectly.

We haven't used AR for 5 years or so, so some of this may have changed...

I still have good stacks of the spine labels and the inside labels, and
would be happy to pass them on to you, if you'd like them.
