The spine label should be read from top to bottom. The top row should define the area in the library where the item is placed (Reference). The second row contains additional information about the location of the item in the library (Dewey: 413, Dictionaries). Additional rows may provide more information about the location or about the item (Volume information).

Question: I am testing free trial of Handy Library Manager. Thanks for your job, We may purchase yours soon, but I want to know that when I add new items, in the field, the Call is generated by Author name's first 3 letters automatically. But, how to modify call No? As I wish, It would be shown (ID no, Category, author's name, Place, Level), for the spine label printings.

Answer: In the Included Fields box select the following data fields: ID, Category, Author, Place, Level.

Question: What I would love to end up with are spine labels that look like examples below: For a child's fiction book ...

Children
Fiction
ABC (three letters of author name)
WELL (name of library)
For an adult non-fiction book ...

652 (three digits of Dewey)
ABC (three letters of Author)
WELL (name of library)
Can I somehow tell it to only print the first three digits of Dewey?
Or should I put all the info I want in one field or separate fields so it prints on different lines?

Answer: 1. Enter spine information into separate data fields, for example: CATEGORY (children), TYPE (Fiction), CALL (3 letters, Dewey, or 3 letters + Dewey), CUSTOM1 (library name); include all data fields in your spine label
2. Method one: enter all information into one data field, pieces of text should be separated by space (it will display every word in separate lines); include this data field in your spine label.
