Good luck -- I don't think there is any good labelling
stock besides SELIN. We stopped using SELIN and have had
many peeling labels ever since. We have tried foil-backed
labels and abandonned them, and now use a non-foil backed
variety, which also peels. Even with ironing, these labels
will not stick to cloth bound books, and are often found
curling off of other kinds of covers within a short period
of time. It is easy to peel them off. Many kinds of
labels were tried. About the only way one of these
non-SELIN labels will stay on is if you are covering the
volume with plastic after affixing the call number label.
I think that just about everyone at this library Materials
Preparation staff regrets that we don't have SELIN anymore.
I strongly recommend that you keep it.
