Print spine and pocket labels

You can print spine and pocket labels when adding a new copy or replacing a damaged barcode. Create them based on copies in a Resource List, copy category, barcode list, barcode range, or when copies were added.

Spine labels contain:

• The call number
• Any volume or issue descriptions and numbers
• Any copy number included in the copy record

Pocket labels contain:

• The call number
• Author
• Title

Note: Labels print in call number order. If the call number is longer than the label width allows, Destiny breaks the number at the first space, or at a decimal point. For the best labels, make sure to purchase the label stock that accommodates your call number size.
