RE: color on spine labels

["Candace Lebel" <Candace dot Lebel at libraries dot claremont dot edu>]

Linda,

I'm concerned about readability.  The Brodart product colors seem to cut
down on the contrast provided by a white label with black lettering.

What are your thoughts?

Candace

We use colored label protectors (from Brodart) to cover the spine labels
on
materials for our branches.

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
