Subject: RE: Color Labels on Serials (Caroljean Hanson)

Caroljean,

We haven't used these for serials, but we have successfully used them
for curriculum materials, that are divided into general, elementary,
and secondary levels.  We used see-through colored labels that covered
the spine label, then covered all with a clear label protector (the
colored labels do no stay on well, by themselves).  A mis-shelved
item stands out like a sore thumb, and in fact is unlikely to *be*
mis-shelved!  We used yellow, pink, and blue.  The green are
difficult to read through, but we have used just a sliver of green
label at the bottom of the spine label for Reference materials.  This
has helped keep Ref materials in their place, and circulating
materials out of Reference.

Hope this helps,

Vty,
Simone.
