LHR
  • 852 h
  • When sending from the bibliographic record, the classification part is pulled from the applicable call number field in the bibliographic record based on the default classification scheme you set in your user preferences.
  • This content type is intended for use on wider custom labels. No text wrapping is applied and manual edits may be needed for longer classification parts depending on the size of your label using the Label Editor on the Label Print List.
Copy Number LHR

Data Bibliographic record
  • See notes

LHR
  • 852 h i
  • When sending from a bibliographic record, the classification part and item part (when available) is pulled from the applicable call number field in the bibliographic record based on the default classification scheme you set in your user preferences.
  • This content type is recommended for use on standard label formats (A12360, L7651, SP1) and smaller custom labels.
  • This content type has a built-in line break that depends on the number of characters, length of the call number, size of the label, etc. It typically works best for smaller (narrower) spine labels. Since the classification and item number will not be displayed in the same row, it is not recommended to use this content type for processing labels.
Enumeration/Chronology

LHR

  • 863
  • 864
  • 865
  • 866 $a
  • 867 $a
  • 868 $a
  • When sending from an LHR containing enumeration, chronology or textual holdings data, a dropdown list will display in the Enumeration/Chronology column with the data associated with the LHR when you view the Records accordion in the Label Print List.
  • This content type can supply enumeration and chronology data from Local Holdings Records (LHRs) fields 863, 864 and 865 using references to the 853, 854 and 855 LHR fields to determine how to format the data on the label.
Item Part (Cutter) Bibliographic record
  • See notes

LHR
  • 852 i
  • When sending from a bibliographic record, the item part (when available) is pulled from the applicable call number field in the bibliographic record based on the default classification scheme you set in your user preferences.
  • This content type is intended for use on wider custom labels. No text wrapping is applied and manual edits may be needed for longer item parts depending on the size of your label using the Label Editor on the Label Print List.
