[SEO-Members] "NEW" label residue?

[Melody Flick]

Thank you all for the feedback!

You've given us a couple avenues to ponder. So many of you have been gushing about the new tape from Demco, we're thinking about trying it 🙂

Subject: "NEW" label residue?

Hello all!

I was wondering...how do you mark "new" books in your collection? We've been using the Demco "new" labels (below) with a label saver over the top, but the residue it leaves behind is awful. We think maybe the warm temperatures are contributing to our difficulty in getting the labels and label savers off 🙁

I'm trying to brainstorm other options, so if your library has a system that seems to work well, I'd love to hear about it! I know some libraries put the pub date in their call number...
