A library catalog card is a paper card, usually made of cardstock and measuring 3 by 5 inches, that contains bibliographic information about a library item. This information includes the author's name, book title, item location (call number), publisher, publication place and date, as well as subjects related to the book.
There are three main types of catalog cards:
1. Author Card: Lists the author's name at the top of the card.
2. Title Card: Features the book's title at the top.
3. Subject Card: Displays the book's subject at the top.
This topic explains how to create a library index card (title card) and save
it as a template for future use. We will also cover how to use the Header/Footer
and Keywords features in the label design. You can enter keywords in two ways:
<$FIELD:FieldName$>
<$FIELD:FieldName:$> - there is ":" after the field name, this means spaces
should be converted to new lines; This keyword attribute allows for the splitting of the CALL
data value into multiple lines, with each space character in the CALL value acting as
a new line character.
You can find the library card template in the Labels list box. It is the last template, named "LibraryCardTitle".
Click on the "Labels" box and select "New Label".
This is the content of the Included Fields box and the corresponding parts on the library catalog card:
1st line: empty line
2nd line: title
3rd line: empty line
4th line: author
5th line: space + space + space + space + space + title + place + publisher + date published
6th line: pages
7th line: empty line
8th line: subject1 + space + subject2 + space + subject3
In the Header/Footer box you can include text and keywords that represent data fields. You can enter keywords in two ways:
<$FIELD:FieldName$>
<$FIELD:FieldName:$> - there is ":" after the field name, this means spaces should be converted to new lines
