    > Good afternoon law firm librarians,
    >
    > Has anyone bar coded their library collection using records management
    > software such as LegalKEY? The key (no pun intended) consideration is
    > that we have already this software infrastructure in place for
    > records. Our purchasing separate library software is simply not in
    > the $$ cards at this time.
    >
    > If you have bar coded your collection using records management
    > software, LegalKEY or otherwise, I would love to hear from you. Some
    > of the issues / questions we need clarified / answered are as follows:
    >
    > 1. Describe the implementation process which includes how data input
    > for each item was accomplished.
    > 2. How long did it take? How many volumes? Did you decide to
    > barcode selected items (high use) and not barcode others (low use)?
    > 3. Lessons learned ... if you know what you know now would you do it
    > again? Is there a point ( the size of the collection) where it might
    > be more prudent for one to consider purchasing library circulation
    > software?
    >
    > Any feedback on "any or all or other issues or questions not raised"
    > would be appreciated greatly. Please feel free to call me directly;
    > it may be more effective than responding with an email.
