-====== 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.
-{{:alephservices.jpg|}}
-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.
