Re: [LM_NET] TAR: Do you stamp a page of each book?

[Richard Lachowsky <rlachowsky1960@YAHOO.COM>]

I've worked long enough to remember putting clear plastic TITLE IV sleeves over 
catalog cards for materials purchased with Federal Funds.
   
  My "secret" page has always been page 33. Learned that as a student library 
assistant in high school!

  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.... :)

Not a stupid question at all.

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!

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:)
