It is possible to create covers for DVD videos using Amlib Reports.
If you customise the template in any way, then we recommend saving it as a customised file (with a unique filename – for example: QUDVDCOV.QRP), which will ensure that it is not overwritten during upgrades. This customised file will then need to loaded into Amlib to be used in a report.
The customised template is now loaded.
This Bibliographic Report uses the F10 More button. Once these are set there should be no need to alter them. This report has a set of 8 fields only.
Example report entry | Description | Explanation |
---|---|---|

and sf in ('a') | Only the Subfields specified to be printed within this Authority Tag | If 245 | Title Tag, only the Series name and number printed |

Highlight the items and select XReferences > Catalogue – the corresponding Catalogue records for these items will display in a Catalogue List:
