Cathy,
Because we like to keep jackets on our featured books, we've been using
CoLibri jackets to cover them. Call number and barcode go directly on book
jacket, CoLibri goes over that, and the removable label goes on the CoLibri
cover. We've got three featured designations: the main library has New &
Noteworthy and (recent publications by) Duke Authors, a large branch has
another designation to feature their new books. When the book moves from
its featured location to the stacks, the removable label comes off. If
there's an adhesive residue, it cleans up with rubbing alcohol. The book
itself goes to the stacks with the CoLibri and book jacket in place.
Regards,
Winston

All,

I would like some feedback from the group regarding a question asked of me
by the Access Services Team (AST)  here.  They would like to have a better
way (than we do now) of indicating on the spine of a volume if it is on
Reserve or is New.  They would like to labels (which must be on the spine,
above the permanent call number label) to adhere well but then come off 2
months (for New) or a semester (for Reserves) later without leaving a
sticky residue.  We would like to also keep the cost relatively low.

The AST and I have been looking at samples from various vendors for months
now and not finding anything that works well. Shape is an issue (square or
rectangular seem to lift off at the corners quicker) and the temporary
adhesive used in several of the samples failed after the first
circulation.)  I have searched the PADG archives using the terms 'stickers'
and 'labels' and found nothing that really addresses this question.

May I ask what your Library uses and if you approve of it, preservation
wise, can you please let me know?

Please contact me off list and I will summarize if there is interest.

Thanks,

Cathy
