[ILL-L] Book Labels

Thu Oct 18 11:03:15 EDT 2007

I've had books return like that and have had books return with sticky
labels & books returned with the other library's book strap on it.  All
I'm saying is, I try to return a book to the lending library in the same
condition I receive it.  I just appreciate the same courtesy.  If you
put a strap on it, please take it off.  When I send paperwork with the
book, please return it with the paperwork to save me the time of looking
everything up.  Please don't put sticky labels on our books.  Other than
that, I'm more than happy to loan books for free to anybody.

The odd thing is that apparently some libraries DO use the lending
library’s bookstrap… I don’t remember who – but we get back ones on a
regular basis that have their barcode stuck on our bookstrap, or have
written the patron’s name and phone number on it…As for here, we put our
own bookstrap OVER the lending library’s bookstrap… or rather tape it to
it- I often don’t make the back of the bookstrap if there’s already one
on it… but the point being – we never take someone else’s bookstrap
off…The one thing I don’t understand is the libraries who take the
bookstrap off and then upon returning it TAPE the front of it to the
front of the book – just stick it inside the front cover like everyone
else if need be, but why are you using tape on another library’s book? 
Just seems odd to me (we haven’t had a real problem with getting the
tape off yet – it just seems odd to me – why add an extra step on their
part for that matter?)AlisonAlison JonesPublic Services LibrarianBaptist

 We stopped putting bookstraps on the books we lend when we noticed
that very few of them came back with the bookstrap still on them.  I
don’t know of any libraries that use a bookstrap provided by the
lending library, so decided that it was probably a waste of labor.  The
only problem we’ve had is that books aren’t always identified as ILL
when they come back without something obvious (like a bookstrap), which
is why we’re considering labels Cindy ThompsonUMKC Miller Nichols

 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.

Subject: RE: [ILL-L] Book LabelsMay 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
