I would like Koha to generate barcodes as I catalog and then print labels from the label creator. I have set the appropriate option in the admin and the barcode generates in the item record, but I cannot, for the life of me, get it to then print via the label creator. In fact, it doesn't seem to be pulling any information at all. Does anyone have any advice? Thank you, Lichen ps. Please email me directly, for some reason I do not get list updates. -- ~ ad deum qui laetificat juventutem meam ~ L.

Some simple questions about what the information is going to be used for. Hardly qualifies as being worked up. I'd still like a public statement about what the information is about. If that counts me as worked up, so be it.

It is just for some institutions that have strict guidelines, not being up front with that information (and the potential use of the results) can be extremely problematic - involving questions of compliance, and also can limit use of the results permanently. It is also, to me, a courtesy thing generally! This is one of those things it is better to be a bit over the top on, and be squeaky clean about!, than otherwise. Getting a bad rap on this sort of question is really hard to fix, too. Being totally OK on this sort of thing means more groups/institutions can participate in Koha... and contribute. I'll be quiet now!
