Many journals are monthly and usually come within the month they are expected. I hazard a guess that the color coding system is a time consuming operation which could be updated in another manner. 2)------------------------------- -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: Color coded labeling scheme for journals -- Barbara Blummer Date: Wed, 8 May 2002 10:21:13 -0400 From: "McGourty, Elenore M." <mcgourty@WPI.EDU> Our journals are stamped with a date stamp on the day they are processed and shelved. Our shelves are designed to display the most current issue, and the previous issues are stored underneath until they are boxed or bound.

Instead of changing the labels however, we printed them on normal white card stock and placed them in holders. I then cut colored transparency film to fit into the holders. You can see the title through the film, they can be changed out as needed and the film can be reused over and over again.

Journal labels are changed each Monday to reflect the receipt date of the issue. For instance, one color indicates the journal was received the current week, another color denotes a journal was received the previous week, and another color reflects the journal was received sometime prior to the previous week. Although our research staff enjoys the service, the frequent changing of the labels makes it difficult to fit them into the shelf label holder without damaging them. The labels tear and wrinkle and have to be replaced. We would appreciate responses from libraries providing a similar service to their patrons. Thank you in advance!
