Re: LABEL WOES

[Mary Jane Kelsey <mary.jane.kelsey@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Yes I know that's why we made a dummy bib record called Label Formatting
with an attached check in.  Printing a label from an item record
invokes the LC default format using 050 or 090-- whatever you've
specified.    But you'll notice that in the checkin record you
have the option of invoking other label types.  Therefore  if
you specify label type b, and then insert a call number in the check in
record and print a label from the check in box, the label type b will be
invoked instead of the LC format.  You won't be printing from your
050 or 090.  Your label data will be printed as formatted by
appropriate spaces from the call number field in the checkin
record.  It doesn't matter whether the call number you have is from
a monograph or serial, it's just a mechanism-- admittedly kludgy-- for
forcing the proper label to be printed.  Hope this helps clarify
what we do.  mjk

When you're finished, just quit out of the record without saving any of
the changes and you'll be ready the next time this comes up.
