Add a book and print barcode labels
A screen recording of Pearspark doing exactly this in a sample school, and the same 8 steps written out below in the labels you'll see on screen.
How to add a book and print barcode labels
- 1Click Library under Library & resources in the sidebar (open the section first if it is closed)
- 2Click Add book at the top right. If the book has an ISBN, scan it and click Look up to fill in the details
- 3Type the Title (the only required field), then Author, Category and Call number, set Number of copies, and click Add book. The catalog shows N of N in
- 4Open the new book: its Copies card lists every copy with its own barcode
- 5On the Copies card, click Print all labels to print this title alone. Or open More in the catalog and click Print labels for the whole library, where Added since limits it to new copies
- 6Pick the Label template (Avery 5160, 5161, 5163 or Dymo roll) and the Code style (Barcode or QR code)
- 7Click Print N labels and set the printer to 100% scale, not fit to page. Stick the labels on the books: they scan at the checkout station
- 8Back in the catalog, open More and choose Export CSV to download the full catalog
Part of Library, resources & reservations
Barcode labels you print yourself, a scan station for checkout, holds families place from home, shared equipment reserved with dates instead of arguments — and the textbooks, shelf counts, and supply cupboard that come with all of it.
