Type the title of your item.

The title field will hold 200 characters.

The combination of Resource Type, Title, Sub-title, Series, Volume and Author make an item unique.

"The, A, An" should go at the end of the title.  For example, a book entitled "The Blue Box" should be entered as "Blue Box, The".  If you still want the body of card information and the reported title to read as "The Blue Box", choose Utilities, Preferences, General Preferences, Item, Reformat Title on Printing.

If you will be generating card catalog cards, the title will automatically be included in the body of the card when you press the Library Card Information tab.

Press [TAB] when finished entering this information.
