[DCRM-L] Call no. flags

[Eric Holzenberg]

A warning about those cutout flaps, if the strip is made from card-stock:
yes, they do a great job of holding the strip in the text block, but they
also make it horribly easy to damage the page to which the strip is fixed:
the slightest knock of the strip against the underside of a shelf, say, and
you've torn that text page.

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
