You can most probably make these yourself. Our library, a Dell PowerVault 132-T, reads `code39' labels without problems (that is, once you know what orientation to stick them...) See the FAQ-o-matic for a script. You'd need GNU barcode, sticky labels, and a little experimenting for that to work; the whole thing took me perhaps an hour and a half. (Plus the time to figure out what orientation to stick them on the tapes. Did I mention that you shouldn't stick them upside down onto the tapes?) Moreover, that way you can use whatever barcode strings strike your fancy (uppercase, numbers and hyphens only), like `same as amanda label'.
