Description
Label a library copy's recorded availability or withdrawal status.
Library records distinguish copies, serial issues, leaf counts, field-state labels and edition-specific rights notes. A leaf may have two potential sides without both being printed or numbered. Due-date and hold-renewal arithmetic uses supplied calendar conventions rather than determining lending terms or access rights.
Label a library copy's recorded availability or withdrawal status.
When to use this tool
Use Library Copy Withdrawn Lost Code when you already have copyId, recordedStatus and need to label a library copy's recorded availability or withdrawal status.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter copyId, recordedStatus. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read label. Use the output convention below.
Require copyId nonempty and status available, withdrawn, lost or unknown; format ID [status].1

{
"input": {
"copyId": "COPY17",
"recordedStatus": "withdrawn"
},
"output": {
"label": "COPY17 [withdrawn]"
}
}Limitations and assumptions
- No catalogue, location, actual availability or withdrawal authorization is checked.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Check the catalogue, physical item, field definition and original rights or lending record for actual status. Use the relevant complete cataloguing or calendar rule when a source label or supplied date offset is insufficient.
