We also have the option to print the slips from our serials module, but I have concluded that it is way too much trouble. The Post-it routing slips are very convenient!

They are easily removed when the item is returned from routing and we have only rarely lost a routing slip.

This eliminates cutting. We then staple the routing slip to a used envelope in the necessary size and put the labelled issue into the envelope. In this way we eliminate stapling slips to the cover of each journal. Our preservation librarian really appreciates our efforts. Sheila M.

We just fold the route slip in quarters (with routing info. on top) after it prints out, then attach the slip to the top of the journal with a paperclip. Hope this helps!

We use a dot-matrix printer with continuous feed labels. A label is printed for each copy of a routed title that was checked in on that day. This seems to work quite well, although the labels are more expensive. Additionally it took the Consultant who is customizing our Star system sometime to get the information laid out so that it would fit on the label.
