Books, bound journals, pam bound items:

Front cover, spine edge along spine (left), vertically, with bottom of numbers toward spine. Normally place barcodes one barcode-length down from top. Avoid covering data that it is not found any where else on the publication. To avoid covering data, they may be placed ca. 4 inches down from the top edge. Do not place in crease.

For books ordered from BNA, barcodes are sent to BNA. BNA applies the barcode, strip, and endstamp.

Special Collection books:

Generally, place inside at top left of cover.

If the item is, or may be placed in a pam binder, the barcode should be placed on the pam binder front, left, spine edge, one barcode length down from top like books.

If the item is in an envelope inside a pam binder, use double barcodes. Place one inside front cover and one on outside as above. Pencil call number on item and on envelope.

IF the item has a book jacket, the jacket should be mylared, affixed to the book with tape, jacket only labeled, and barcode placed inside the front cover at the top to the right of the flap.

Aandahl Collection books:

If the item has a book jacket, place the barcode inside the cover, top right.

If the item does not have a book jacket, place the barcode inside the cover, top left.

The book jacket is retained and protected with a mylar cover. It is taped to the book. Two spine labels are typed, one for the book and one for the jacket.

Dewey Collection books:

If the item has a book jacket but is not in a mylar cover, place the barcode on the jacket in the same position as regular books and then enclosed in the mylar.

If the item does not have a book jacket or is already enclosed in mylar, place the barcode on the outside in the same position as regular books.

For books ordered from Ingram, barcodes are sent to Ingram. Ingram applies the barcode, strip, and endstamp.
