There is a patch for this feature (http://git.koha.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=Koha;a=commit;h=990e315471c8c799598...), but I was unable to get this to work. Maybe someone else had better luck? I was able to create a batch on the backend, via mysql. The relevant table is 'labels'. However, I hardly think that this is a solution, and I certainly wouldn't recommend it unless you know what you're doing. Another solution I'm looking into is to ignore Koha's label facility and instead use kbarcode. Kbarcode is a KDE application that can connect to a mysql database and create a variety of labels. Beware: there seems to be some sort of bug that causes kbarcode to crash when libpostscriptbarcode is installed. I havn't had a chance to attempt this fix yet, so I can't guarantee results. The solution is supposedly to de-install libpostscriptbarcode. The basic problem is that there are two xml files: 1) /usr/share/libpostscriptbarcode/rules.xml 2) /usr/share/apps/kbarcode/rules.xml ... and you must have only the 2nd file (/usr/share/apps/kbarcode/rules.xml). -- Please avoid sending me Word or PowerPoint attachments.

We are starting to use Koha to replace a very old DOS based catalog. We are entering all inventory as we weed the library. We are to the point that we would like to start printing labels - both spine and barcode. The problem is there doesn't seem to be a way to select large groups of items. The 3.01 Documentation shows selection criterea that would allow large batches to be built. But the current version does not have this implemented. Is that correct ? If that is the case - what are you users doing to produce these labels ?
