The field is 12 bytes long and each byte is an ASCII character. This number is the same unique number that is returned from the drive over SCSI when an Inquiry Command (Page 80H) is issued. The number is retrieved directly from the drive so the number that the drive reports matches the number that the library reports. If the drive serial number is less than 12 bytes, the rest of the bytes will be zero filled.
