[ILL-L] return address labels

[Jeanne Hickling]

Sue,
You can do this! 
For the books being returned that don't have labels, go to WCRS, and 
update each item individually [not batch]
You'll notice there's a box to check to print return labels - Check the box
After you've updated the "label-less" return to Request Manager

In the "Printing" box, you'll now see "Mailing Labels (0 shipping, 2 
return)
Click on Print, and that will take you to the formatting of those labels
OCLC has given you several choices of label size, and what you can put 
on the label.
[Tip - you can print on plain paper - not label stock - and cut the 
labels, and tape them down on the package]
Voila!  Return Labels.
Not quite easy, peasy - but close, and not as time consuming as hand 
writing.
