What do the labels contain?

Barcode Labels

Barcode labels contain the copy's scannable barcode, the eye-readable number, and any of the four optional fields:

Site name

Call number (up to 30 characters)

Author (up to 20 characters)

Title (up to 20 characters)

Spine Labels

The spine labels contain the copy's call number and any volume or issue descriptions and numbers, and any copy number included in the copy record.

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 you purchase the label stock that accommodates your call number size.

The circulation and pocket labels contain the call number, author, and title.
