[CALIBK12] Query: Generic Bar Code in Destiny?

[Connie Williams]

You could barcode 6-7 envelopes and place them under a record titled   
"earbud" . When a student borrows an earbud set, you can scan the  
barcoded envelope, and place the earbuds into the envelope for  
checkout.  I wouldn't worry too much about earbuds either, but doing  
something like this might bring more back than just by handing them out.
