[DCRM-L] Call no. flags

[Sara Piasecki]

I agree with Eric. We always turn them upside down before marking the call number on them, so shelvers are never tempted to place the cutout over a page.

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
