Reply: Periodical shelf label holders Carrie Ferm 7316 24 Jun 1996 19:39 UTC

Good morning, Laurie,
At Augustana we use "Hol-Dex" from Cel-U-Dex Corporation to label our
periodical shelves.

They are clear plastic with stickum already on the back, we type the
journal name on a card stock label and slide into holder.  When we
have to shift periodicals around to insert a new title, we just move
the labels not the holders.  I have had these up for 6 1/2 years now
and only 3 have detached from the shelves.  I hope this helps.
