[ILL-L] Book Labels

[Document Delivery]

I'm seeing more books (?) that we borrow coming in without bookstraps of
any kind from the lending libraries, just a slip of identification from
ILLiad, which is OK with me since we put on a borrowing book strap. Any
thoughts on this? thanks, Ed.

May I also suggest that you remove the labels and all residue left
behind before returning to the lending library?  I have received our own
books back with somebody's labels on them & have had to spend time
removing the labels & residue myself.  I much prefer not having labels
placed on our books.

We just started using those "removable" labels when we got ILLiad
recently.  I think they're Avery 6464 labels. If you have Clio or
ILLiad, there should be something in their program to set up label
printing. If you don't use either Clio or ILLiad, I guess you'd just use
the label functionality in MS Word to make the labels.

Our students are to put the labels on book bands when the book being
sent has a paper-like cover (even if the book is hardbound) because
removing the label sometimes makes tears in the paper.

Siena laminates most of its new paperbacks and the removable labels are
hard to remove from the laminate, often leaving a sticky residue.  In
those cases, we've found that a paper towel with a little mineral
spirits on it removes labels and residue great, without damaging the
laminate cover.  You should be able to find a can of mineral spirits at
Lowe's, Home Depot, or other hardware store.

Hope this helps,

Hi Everyone,
We are still using book bands when sending and receiving ILL 
materials. I've been seeing more and more libraries use the "sticky" 
labels on their books and would like to get some information on the 
labels. First, what kind are they, where do you purchase them and 
what program do you use to print them? Cost? Is there any problem 
with residue left on the materials? Are there books that you wouldn't 
use them on? Pros and cons are requested.

I'm gathering the information to see if this is the way we want to 
go. Thanks in advance.
Sharon
