Printing Bookstraps

Borrowers can print bookstraps to accompany ILL items checked out to their patrons and lenders can print bookstraps to ship ILL items to the borrowers.

To print bookstraps:

  1. Access the Bookstraps screen (see Maintaining Bookstraps for details).
  2. If desired, use the Include and View menus to limit the list by request and/or print status.
  3. Use the Selected check boxes to select the ILL requests for which you wish to print bookstraps.
    • A checkmark checkmark indicates a bookstrap for the associated request will be printed.
    • An empty checkbox checkbox indicates a bookstrap for the associated request will not be printed.
    • Clicking a checkbox repeatedly will toggle it on and off.
    • Click the SELECT ALL checkbox to automatically select the individual checkboxes for all currently displayed bookstraps.
  4. Select the desired label type from the Print as menu; Consortium Labels or Avery 6464 Labels (Landscape).
  5. When all desired ILL requests have been selected, click the Format to Print button.
    • An additional browser window opens, displaying the formatted bookstraps.
  6. Use the standard procedures for your web browser to print the contents of the “bookstraps” window.
  7. Close the formatted bookstraps.

NOTE: Once the Format to Print button has been clicked, the selected ILL requests are marked as Printed, regardless of whether or not you physically print the bookstraps. If you do not physically print the bookstraps at this time, it is not possible to return the ILL requests to Unprinted status.
