[ILL-L] Banding Books

[Sara Hatch]

We also do not band or put book straps on our books.  We used to use
book bands on books we lent and books that were loaned to us, but we
have been using the stick on ILL labels produced by Clio for the past
several months.  We love them!!

 

If there is a book band on a book we borrow, we leave it intact and
place our non-stick label over the top of it-it peels right off
afterward when we send the item back to the owning library.  

 

All of our books are stamped with our library name and address, and we
do include paperwork as well as a return label.  Some libraries do not
use our return label, but we always appreciate it when we receive one
from a lending library!

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
