Print location labels

Destiny lets you print barcode labels for one, some, or all of your locations. Just as patron barcodes make it easy to check out to individual patrons, location labels make it easy to check out to particular locations. They also help you perform an inventory by location.

Example: There are four science classrooms listed as locations, using the same textbook. When you check out copies to one of the classrooms, use a sheet with location barcodes to align those textbooks with that classroom.

Location barcode labels contain the location's name, scannable barcode, and barcode number.

Important: The first time you print barcodes, test them for usability.

To print location barcode labels:

  1. Select Reports > Resource Reports.
  2. Under Labels, click Location Labels.
