[PADG:1064] RE: ILL Labels

[Paula De Stefano <destefan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Jeanne -- Yes, we've always used slings in the past, but now the 
ILL office has switched to the labels. My question is whether 
anyone knows anything about these new labels which, I'm told, 
"many" ILL offices now use. Thanks, Paula
