For example; Kroger, PNG saver, Fisher Price all want their own downloaded and installed programs, used to print barcode coupons, placed on each workstation.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Allowing patrons to download and install these programs is out of the question for me, installing and keeping them up to date on each workstation is time consuming- which I have done, or creating an “Admin” login to be used by reference just to install the associated barcode printing software and use one time- which I am still trying to convince myself is a good idea but haven’t. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I know coupons are not books, or research, but in these economic times I feel patrons should have the ability to print coupons if needed.
