- | ====== Stamping Volumes ====== | ||
- | |||
- | 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. |
