Mailing Labels
Depending on the products and features enabled at your library, Sierra prints a mailing label when:
- you check in a held item at its mailing location, if your library has enabled the Holds Mailing Labels feature.
- you receive an item, if your library has acquired the Held Item Delivery product.
For more information, see the following:
