How to print barcode labels for books and resources
- 1Click Library under "Library & resources" in the sidebar
- 2Open the More menu and click "Print labels", then choose "Library books", "Textbooks" or one category from the "Which books" dropdown and, if you like, set "Added since" to print only copies added from that day on (large runs go out in batches of 300), or open one book and click "Print all labels" for just its copies
- 3Set "Label order" to "Title A–Z" to print the labels alphabetically, which makes pairing a stack of labels with a stack of books quick
- 4For books that don't share a category, click the tag button on each one in the catalog — or on a single copy from a book's page — to build a label list, then click "Print the list" to print them all on one sheet
- 5Print the label sheet and stick the barcodes on your books
- 6For equipment, click Resources in the sidebar and use its "Print labels" button the same way
- 7Barcodes use your school prefix from Settings, under "Library & barcodes" (e.g. "RIV-BK-000123" for books, "RIV-RS-000123" for resources)
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.
