[PADG:185] Re: Selin labels
Hi Laura,
I work at CaseWestern Reserve Law School preparing books for the shelves and circulation.
I also use the Selin. What I do is for books that you know will always need to be labeled I pre-make
these labels in sets of 10 or more to move the labels that are needed every now and then t forward so as not to waste any of the label material.
I.E. CFR this book is always updated each year and there are about 40 vols. so I am always making labels for them. For books that need lablels once in awhile to move these labels forward I will make extra labels for the CFR. I keep a binder that holds the most used labels and whenever they run low I use them to make extra labels that will push the "every-so-often" labels forward. It's like keeping an inventory of labels that you use the most and using them to get to the other needed labels.

Stanford, for the most part, uses Selin and wouldn't dream of using anything else. Now I dread the day we no longer have our Quietwriter to fill those 1 label requests (which we get a lot of). For our big jobs we use the Okidata with the Gaylord attachment. We've had a program made that allows us to print in batches (by gathering the barcodes) to cut down on waste but a fair amount of Selin is still wasted.
We have looked at other systems and though the label stock was good, it wasn't Selin.

We, too, use SELIN labels for important reasons, the most vital being that the labels very seldom fall off on their own accord. But, like Roberta points out there is lots of waste, especially if you want to label only one book at a time. I haven't pursued alternatives myself, but am always interested in hearing what others do with the SELIN product. We currently use Okidata dot matrix printers and the Gaylord attachment, but there are alignment issues, smearing ink issues, and the waste issue.

Hello,
Yale is looking for a more efficient and less wasteful
labeling system. The problem is we are not really keen on giving
up the Selin label and so were wondering if institutions that are
using Selin labels have come up with a better printer or have
asked about having Selin made in another format--individual
labels--so that a different printer could be used.
I'd be very interested in hearing what folks do. Replying to
the list rather than to me directly would encourage a broader
discussion.
Thanks.
