Title: Re: [padg] ILL stickers

Kris,
Check out my posting from 2005 about work in STARS, the ALA RUSA group that deals with National ILL Code. http://palimpsest.stanford.edu/byform/mailing-lists/padg/2005/09/msg00004.html

They were starting a revision of the code then—including banning stickers. I don’t have an update to hand as to whether the code was so revised, but that would be a place to look.

Subject: [padg] ILL stickers

Hi All,

The question about using the non-permanent stickers on books for routing when lent to other libraries has risen again for our library. Thus far we have managed to maintain the use of the paper wrap for routing, but there is a move to make the processing of lent books more "efficient." Was there an initiative to ban the use of the stickers that was discussed in PARS, or am I imagining it? 

Any ammunition to discourage this practice would be most appreciated.

Thanks very much,
Kris
