HD STICKERS : SAMPLE LABELS for boxes going to HD
NOTE: *A small piece of tape must be adhered to the open end of the label holder so that the label can't slip out.*
Labels are printed on Avery 5911 perforated business cards. The bar code and the HD sticker are affixed to the card, NOT to the box itself, or to the label holder. This is because if the label ever needs to be changed, the card can simply be removed and replaced. Also the label holder doesn't offer protection for stickers adhered to the outside of it thus defeating its purpose. And, there would be a problem removing those stickers from the outside of the label holder if it were necessary to do so. NOTE: the item numbers are no longer included on the box labels. To remove a label : use an exacto knife to slit the tape along the right edge (for items that were at HD). Then use the blade to slip gently inside the label holder, put a small amount of pressure on the label inside with the tip of the blade, and pull the label out.

MANUSCRIPTS REMOVED FROM A VOLUME : SAMPLE LABEL
...
Manuscript folder labels look just like those from any other manuscript collection. They do not need to include the "POETRY *" designation. Boxed items are shelved with all other boxed collections on sub-basement. They are not included in the special "Blue Star" area of the stacks behind the cmii shelves that is designated for printed Blue Star material.

UPRIGHT IN DOCUMENT BOXES & SHELVED AT HD
FC8.A100.873p
If this were a manuscript collection, the "b" would be retained on all labels because it appears as part of the call number in HOLLIS. Some in printed books, however, may omit the "b" boxed indicator for items going to HD, since they do not have a location at Houghton.

STACK RANGE LABELS
In the past, the Stack Supervisor was in charge of producing and updating labels at the ends of the aisles where manuscripts are shelved. However, the end processor is in a position to assist with this process in the manuscript stack areas. Here is a sample label for the GEN and F ranges. Each range is now also labeled with its Building, level, and range number, provided by the manuscript end processor. (P2.1, P2.2, P2.3, etc.)
