GEN Re Shelving solutions

[Pat Bartoshesky <Bartoapple@AOL.COM>]

One factor that has slowed me down enormously in my new school is books with=

missing spine labels, books with incomplete or faded spine labels, and books=

with spine labels where the call number wraps around so that the last digits=

are out of sight when the book is shelved. The last makes it particularly=20
hard to insert books in the correct spot.

I have typed hundreds (getting on thousands!) of new spine labels, many bein=

put on parallel to the title, rather than perpendicular to it, and this make=

shelving go much faster.
Am I the only one who has had this issue?

Thanks to all for a very helpful discussion.
