[padg] bookplates

[Scott Devine <s-devine@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Greetings all,

The Preservation Department at Northwestern just assumed 
responsibility for "marking room" operations, including the 
application of call number labels, bookplates, and tattletape.

Northwestern has about 200 endowments (for the purchase of new books) 
that require the application of custom-printed bookplates.  I would 
like to talk with anyone who is responsible for a similar process in 
order to compare how you manage the workflow (i.e., how/when is the 
book "bookplated" and what system do you have in place to make sure 
the books always get the right bookplate).

If you have time to discuss this process or can point me to someone 
else your institution, I'd appreciate it.

Many thanks,
Scott
