Hi!
At one time when we were getting audited for various Title grants, we
had to stamp or mark every book on the shelf which fund it came
from. The theory being that if the Feds came in to check, they could
pull a book off the shelf and know which funding paid for that
particular book. They didn't care about shelf lists I guess...
again...showing the old age here.... :)

That was the so called "secret" page where the library stamp could be
found. I think the idea was that if someone stole the book and
removed the pocket, etc. it would find its way home. Many schools
used page 99. I remember all the uproars as to what to do when the
book didn't have 99 pages. Hands were wrung, committees met - and
decisions were made for an alternative secret page.
do I do it? Nope - never did...thought it was just a silly exercise
as wa writing it the Jobber, the price, and the date in the book. But
then, I remember accession books too..and the need to carry them for
fire drills. My first job in a library (as a page) when I was 14 was
to cover the inside of all magazines with this brown paper to
reinforce them. Spent hours, glue, and paper to reinforce something
that was so cheap anyway. There are many of those "old" procedures
which we would do. Did keep us busy!

Subject: Re: [LM_NET] TAR: Do you stamp a page of each book?
All the librarians in our district stamp a certain page with the
library's name and address. I've been dutifully stamping page 53 of
every new book for five years, and I have no idea why I do it. I
stamp the title page and the pocket. It's time-consuming stamp
another page, and it surely doesn't add to the aesthetic appeal of
the book. Do you do this? I'd say this was a stupid question, but
surely no librarians believe there IS a stupid question:)
