3M™ Digital Library Assistant User Guide
Only for libraries using location tags
Location tags are used by many libraries, especially larger facilities, to clearly identify
specific areas in a building such as individual shelving units, groups of units, and areas
located on different floors or wings throughout the facility.
If location tags are used with 3M™ Digital Data Manager software and the DLA, Data
Manager export-format parameters are used to prepare location barcodes and
descriptions for display on the DLA.
When location tags are used, the DLA displays corresponding location information near
the top of the screen and/or directly below the primary and secondary information. As
shown in the example:
• Primary Information: The Age of Reason
• Secondary Information: 641.76
• Location Description: Floor 2 Shelf 10
Three DLA functions designed specifically for location-based processing are described on the following pages:
• Check Location
• Check Location+Order
• Inventory Location
