[DCRM-L] Call no. flags

[Ryan]

Thanks for all the replies. We use a system similar to that described by
Deborah, but we print 4 flags at a time on "Rare Book ID Strips" purchased
through Gaylord (8-1/2 x 11 acid-free, buffered Permalife 80 lb. paper;
micro-perforated sheets). These are not necessarily inexpensive and minor
irritations arise when one doesn't need to print flags in a multiple of 4.
I'm drawn to a system like Nina describes and will likely explore this. 

 

Thanks,

Ryan

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
