| + | ====== Stamping Volumes ====== | ||
| + | |||
| + | **DRAFT VERSION** | ||
| + | |||
| + | In order to have the words "UMASS/Amherst Library" appear on each item | ||
| + | in the library, stamp each item with a rubber stamp called an ownership | ||
| + | stamp, identification stamp, ID stamp, or property stamp. Use a black | ||
| + | inkpad. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Stamp the top edge and the fore edge of each volume. (It doesn't matter | ||
| + | which way the printing faces.) There are two sizes of stamp: choose the | ||
| + | largest one which will fit the edge of the book. | ||
| + | |||
| + | If there are any loose maps or parts in a pocket, stamp each loose piece | ||
| + | with the smallest stamp. If possible, stamp in a blank space on the upper | ||
| + | right corner of the piece as it is placed in its pocket. If there is no | ||
| + | blank space there, find a blank space, such as near the legend or on the | ||
| + | unprinted border or on the verso (reverse side) of the piece. | ||
| + | |||
| + | If the book is too thin to be stamped on the edges, then use the smallest | ||
| + | rubber stamp to stamp the outside cover in the upper right hand corner and | ||
| + | also stamp the verso (reverse side) of the title page, in the upper left | ||
| + | corner or in a blank space. Never stamp the title page! (See Fig. 4.4) | ||
| + | |||
| + | When a book is too thin to be stamped on the edges, but its cover is too | ||
| + | shiny to absorb the stamp's ink, type UMASS/Amherst Library on a | ||
| + | label, cut off the excess white space, and apply the label to the upper | ||
| + | right corner of the front cover. Also stamp the verso of the title page, as | ||
| + | in the paragraph above. | ||
