About Cataloging Label Program

Find an overview of the features available in the Cataloging Label Program.

Overview

The Cataloging Label Program allows users to create labels or import labels for editing and printing. The Lable Program imports label content from files generated by Connexion or WorldCat Cataloging Partners. 

Flexible label viewing

You can view all labels, or search for specific labels by spine call number, author or title. Limit these results by edit status or print status, so you can find all labels at the same point in your workflow. Multiple results are displayed in a truncated data table that can be sorted by column. Double-click a label to pull up the full record for editing.

Lots of labeling options

Numerous options are available for the display and printing of labels:

  • Select one of four standard label formats: SL4, SL6, SLB, and SP1.
  • Print to pin feed stock or laser-print label stock; in the latter case, select column and row for the start of printing.
  • Print labels immediately or mark labels for later batch printing.
  • Specify multiple copies for each label.
  • Customize the font and font size.
  • Specify print constants, such as volume and copy. For each constant, you can print labels with specific (or ranges of) numbers or dates.

Simple label management

You can manage your label files by reviewing statistics such as total labels in a file, labels edited, and labels printed. You can also:

  • Create a new label within a file using a blank workform
  • Search for and delete labels you've already printed
  • Import additional labels into the same file
  • Import the next set of labels into a separate file
  • Move labels from one file to another
  • Store your label files on your network for sharing and archiving
