Thread-Topic: [SERIALST] Barcodes & Property stamps
From: "Mays, Allison" <maysap@millsaps.edu>

For hardbound books and paperbacks, we put our barcodes on the
inside front cover, upper right corner.

As for stamping, we do the title page and page 33. We also stamp
the outside end pages, all 3 sides.

We don't barcode bound journals. We just stamp the outside end
pages and inside the front. For loose issues, we put call numbers
on a 1x3 inch label and stamp the right side of the label with the
property stamp.

I'm doing some research dealing with property stamps and barcoding.

How many times should a title, monograph or serial be stamped with
your library's name? And where do you stamp it?

Second question deals with barcodes. Where do you place the barcode?
Inside or outside cover? Front or back?

For monographs we stamp our property stamp on the front page and
the inside of the back cover. Both are in the lower right hand
corner.  For serials we stamp the front with a stamp with the
library name and the current date. Both get barcodes on the upper
left hand corner of the inside of the back flap.

Good morning Sue,
I usually put our property stamp on the title page of the
publication.
Or on the outside wherever it won't cover up wording.  All barcodes
we put by the left spine towards the top with the numbers facing to
the right.  Hope this helps.

Have a great day!!!

We property stamp our periodicals once on the inside cover. I'm not
sure what other departments do, but I would guess they also prop.
stamp just once and most likely in the inside cover.

In periodicals, we place our barcodes on the upper left-hand back
(outside) cover.
