Question:
Printing individual labels. Is there a way to specify where on the label sheet to print an individual barcode label or set of labels? We want to use up a sheet of labels where the top few rows have already been used.

Answer:
You can print from any position, multiple copies of the same label, a single label, or all labels. You can print from the first record or the current one, and you can also print only labels for recently modified records.


Question:
I want a software system that will print dewey spine lables and create dewey based card catelogues. Does yours do that? I can't find it in the demo. If not, why not. It would seem basic to any real small library that is a library and not just a collection of books and CDs that was going to be checked out and searched by more than just one person.

Answer:
You organize your library items by cataloging them. If the data includes Dewey Decimal information, you can display it on your spine labels. You can also use our ISBN auto-cataloging feature and choose the Library of Congress as your search source. The search results from the Library of Congress will include the Dewey Decimal classification value.


Question:
1. How do I print book labels under a certain CATEGORY only?
2. I want to print and have labels for ALL books in our library. However, how do I put borrowing restrictions on REFERENCE books for those cheeky ones that try and borrow them?

Answer:
In the library's main catalog, you can define and execute a search for a specific category. This search functions as a filter, displaying a relevant group of records. When you print labels, it will process the records from the selected group. Additionally, you can set rules that limit the borrowing of books from certain categories. These rules can be defined in the library options window.

Please confirm that the program will create and print bar code labels.

Answer:
When you add items to the library, the program automatically generates barcode values for them. You can immediately print barcode labels using any predefined barcode label template.

Question:
Can the program auto create spine labels using the first 3 letters of an author's last name, for example?

Answer:
In the CALL data field, you can enter the first three letters of the author's last name. If you utilize the auto-cataloging feature, our program will automatically fill in this value for you. You can also use the CALL value on your spine labels.
