ISL also used the Post-it stick to attach routing slips, but stopped.
The adhesive would give-up on items with a long routing slip about half
way through the list. Another reason we stopped using the post-it stick it
stained some of the covers, especially if it sat in someone's in-basket
for an extraordinarily long time. (am sorry to say that happens around
here).  We are back to staples.

How about paper clips, or those bulldog clips to hold on the browsing
slips?  Wouldn't leave a hole or residue.

***Brodart carries these, in their 1999 catalog, page 47.

***I am wondering, though -- were you writing out each slip by
hand, then?

***We do not staple; we use paper clips, but the slips do get
separated from the issues . . .

Before we switched to an automated system(and are now stapling the printed
slips onto the journals again) we used Routing & Request Post-its from 3M.
I am not sure from what company we purchased them as it has been a few
years and I don't do the purchasing.
