[PADG:1298] Re: ILL Stickers

[Gretchen Fulforth Stroh <gstroh1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Paul, please read the riot act to the offending libraries. This 
question has come up before, and I checked with our ILL person, who 
was offended by even the thought of attaching sticky stuff to our 
books. (I had read about it, to my knowledge we haven't had any 
actual experience with it) From a preservation point of view, 
anything sticky, including post its is a no no. (Of course, I can't 
get my fellow staff members to break the post it habit)  I think Ill 
was thinking of putting a note in the ILL OCLC site about this 
practice not being acceptable to our library.

Maybe these libraries aren't aware of the potential damage the stickers can
cause and need to be educated. Before I took some workshops, we used 
to use tape alot, now we don't/

Climbind down off the soapbox,
Gretchen
