[Koha] Circulating magazines/ Printing barcodes

We circulate individual copies of our magazines and are wondering how other Koha (3.0) libraries handle this. We generally keep only a year's worth of back issues, so in theory we could simply create individual items for the 6, 12, or whatever number of annual issues. This would involve printing barcodes on stickers to attach to each issue (using the same barcode for each January issue, for example.) I haven't experimented w/ Koha's label printing utility, but it occurs to me that there are probably simpler programs, or perhaps we could use MS-Word + a specialized font. Grateful for any guidance on any of these issues. Thank you, Cab Vinton, Director Sanbornton Public Library Sanbornton, NH
