AlleyCat, iBorrow, and Delivery Labels
Monday, January 7th, 2008It’s been days—possibly weeks—since we threw anything new at you. And we don’t want you to get complacent. So, here’s another opportunity for change and excitement.
As you may have heard, the Statewide Delivery Service is getting an upgrade. On Monday, January 14, we’ll begin Beta Testing barcodes on orange Delivery bags using print-on-demand labels. (The TBLC and Ft. Myers hubs will be the participants in the Beta Test.) Several of you have contacted TBLC to ask how you should integrate these new high tech labels with your existing procedures for AlleyCat and iBorrow materials, when you become part of the action. Here’s the plan.
If you currently use AlleyCat labels, use the new barcoded labels, but whack them with the iBorrow rubber stamp before you put the label into the orange bag pocket. This will alert anyone with 20-80 vision or better that these are AlleyCat/iBorrow items and should be handled accordingly. If you don’t have an iBorrow stamp, contact Vickie Frost at frostv@tblc.org, and she will send you one. If you don’t currently use AlleyCat labels, you may ignore this message.
And if your palms are feeling sweaty, because this is the first time you’ve even heard of the whole idea of barcoding Delivery bags, visit www.tblc.org/delivery. All your questions will be answered.
