[DCRM-L] Call no. flags

[Sotelo, Aislinn]

We use them and we type the call number, main entry and title with a
typewriter. It makes it very clear for paging.  Ours have a little
cutout flap so it holds to the page where we place it better, but we
also write the call number in the item. Since I type them right after I
catalog something, there's no confusion about mixing up streamers and
putting them in the wrong book, etc.

We use them here at the Clark.

 

Cut from acid-free folders for a bit of sturdiness, written in Pigma
Micron archival ink.

 

Good=easy to spot call # 

 

Bad=easy to fall out, or be separated from book/print/&c. So we also
write call # in the item.

To those of you that use call no. flags in your books: would you mind
giving me an ever-so-brief summary of how they are prepared? Of
particular interest are compelling arguments for/against hand-written
flags.

 

Thanks,

Ryan
