[padg] RE: Fwd: NYTimes.com: Post-It Notes in Books?



…er, I feel uneasy, but Post-Its have advantages as applied to circulating books. First they add annotation functionalities to print that are familiar in digital research environments. Second they dis-incline writing in the books themselves. The preservation worker should educate Post-It users to apply the note to the blank margin of the annotated page. Post-It pads distributed in the library should carry this simple instruction, complements of the Preservation Department.
