Sue, I'm not on that list but it would be fine with me for you to
answer.

Here at Vanderbilt we do use stickers, but we use them to secure
our paper band, and we never affix them directly to any library
materials.  We also instruct libraries that borrow from us not to
use their stickers on our materials (for obvious reasons); we
occasionally have libraries that disregard that instruction, but we
insist.  I do not find the "speed" argument at all persuasive - in
fact, for the lending library it is faster to forgo both stickering
and banding, and for our lending to libraries in our two consortia
we just slap the sticker onto the pull-slip that we include with
the shipment.

Thanks,
Jim
