RE: color on spine labels

["Marcia Trauernicht" <mstwml at rit dot edu>]

Candace,

In the past, we've used both colored label stock and colored label
protectors to easily identify materials that were housed in specific
locations (within one library).   We only use colored (transparent)
label protectors now, and are very pleased with the results.

Subject: color on spine labels

Hi,

Since there is a new thread starting related to spine labels I thought
I'd ask "Is anyone using color in some way to differentiate books
belonging to one branch vs. another?"

We have four libraries across our seven campuses and display the
location above the call number on our spine labels.  Still, things get
sent to and shelved in the wrong building.  We are reviewing our spine
label production methods and I'm looking for some way we can incorporate
color into the label without sacrificing readability.  Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Candace
