[Evergreen-catalogers] issues with spine labels

[Robert Meeks]

Hi gang,

As I’m now trying to solidify a workflow for our technical services staff who will be modifying/printing spine labels, I’ve encountered a couple of quirks and am wondering if others have dealt with them (and we’re still on 2.5.2).

Quirk 1: We use LOC, and as such, when we print spine labels the topic/subclass letters and numbers, before the cutter, are always on two different lines. Regardless of whether or not there was a space in-between them (pretty much never), our previous ILS knew to split them up as such when printing labels. Evergreen doesn’t seem to know to do that by default, and I can’t seem to find a setting anywhere that will set this to be automatic. Is this even possible? I can’t imagine other Evergreen libraries using LOC who haven’t encountered and fixed this problem, so I’m clinging to that for hope.

Quirk 2: While in the Local Admin > Library Settings Editor area I can set defaults for spine label font, size, etc.; however, there aren’t options to enable or save pocket label settings. This is less of a dealbreaker than the above quirk, but also slightly maddening. Just wondering if any future builds address this.

Any and all help, as always, is very much appreciated.

Thanks!
