Barbara: We have used magnetic title holders on our Current shelf for a number of years - I love them... it definitely makes it much easier to re-shelve when you add or remove a title.
The paper label slips into the holder - we have a template for making those. Ours are from HOLDEX and are called magnetic label holders. Probably got them from Quill, Brodart - one of those.
Cheers!

Hello. For years, we have used those little plastic label holders and put pieces of paper in them to identify where each current periodical title is shelved. Our plastic label holders don't really fit out shelves, thus necessitating using doublesided foam tape to hold them on. I was at another library once and noticed that they use some kind of magnetic tape with labels on them for this same purpose. The magnets intrigued me, because I realized how easy shifting the collection would be. I was wondering if any of you have used this option, or any other option for shelf labels. What product do you use and where did you buy it?
Thank you.
Sincerely,
