[DCRM-L] Call no. flags

[Deborah J. Leslie]

Folger rare materials catalogers use a Word template to print 5 or 6
flags to the page (acid-free sheets cut for us by our conservators). I
don't know about the others, but I copy and paste the shelfmark from the
Voyager record. We pencil the shelfmark in the books. I've found that
having flags of sufficient length helps reduce their tendency to fall
out or slip down.

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
