[ILL-L] RE: Banding Books

Mon Jun 15 13:04:39 EDT 2009

We use the 6464 labels but also have paperwork. There are notes on the labels and the paperwork stating that we need both in place when the ILL items are returned.  We'll probably "stick" with the 6464 labels.  We lend a lot of our books to prisons so the ID is needed.

Subject: [ILL-L] RE: Banding Books

For my Library's books I lend out I put a red dot sticker with ILL written on it, on the front of the book. (this helps them at their end to realize it's an ILL but mostly for my end in case the book gets dropped in our drop box or the mailing label is mislabeled so that the circulation desk knows to hand the book over to me instead of checking it in themselves.) I also include a return label that is appropriate to the delivery method (an address label with government courier stamped on it if using government courier. Or a return mailing label if using Canada Post).  Tucked into the front I have the paper work which is a print off of the request sent to me with the day I sent the book out and it's due date written on it. A piece of instructions is stapled to the paper work reminding the library of our lending policies (renewable, how to contact me, etc).  The assumption is that the borrowing library will leave the red dot there but remove all of the paperwork and put it aside and attach whatever markings they use for ILLs.  Then when they return the book they should be returning the paper work with the book so I can find my records on the transactions more easily to update my records when it has been returned.

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
