[ILL-L] Banding Books

[April Younglove]

Do your barcodes have your name and address on them?  How would my
library be able to identify your books via your barcodes?

We do not band the materials we lend. Our barcodes identify the material
as ours, and older items also have property stamps. We include a copy of
the paperwork and return labels with material we loan.

Greetings from Dallas and Happy Friday!

 

I have a couple of questions.  When you loan a book, how do you mark
that it's yours?   We put a band of yellow around our books, with the
ILL information, due date, etc.

If this book was loaned to you, would you put your own band around the
cover of the book?   How do you identify this book as a loaned ILL item?

 

When you loan a book, do you band it?  If not, how do you mark it as
belonging to your library?  Do you just depend on the loan slip to
provide all the information?

 

Oh, one more thing.  Do you provide a return address label with your
book?   I send out return labels, but it seems not many libraries
actually use them.

 

My supervisor wants to make changes in our identification process, so
your input would be helpful.  You can e-mail me off line if you want.

 

Thanks.

 

Sally
