Re: Rubber stamp for call numbers
We have used a variety of methods. For large sets, like the 7.5 minute
topos, we had a rubber stamp made for that set. Then the unique portion for
each quad was written by hand. We also have a set such as you describe. But
once we decided to enter our maps into our online catalog and to circulate
them, that meant attaching a bar label. The extension from a bar label to a
book call no. label was only a short move. Now we cross between the
cataloger writing the call number on by hand or having a book label made.
Granted, it does cause thickness problems when the maps are filed away in
drawers, but so does the bar label needed for circulation.

Map Stamp vs. Labels
We have just ordered a multiple-line stamp for series maps. We are
going the stamp route rather than using labels because our success
rate with stick-on labels of any type is not good. You will find
that printed labels fall off within 4-6 years, and you will have to
go back and re-do your previous work. I much prefer a stamp, which
we were able to obtain through our University bookstore. It is
manufactured by W.T. Rogers, and is called a Printing Kit.
That is my $0.02. Linda Zellmer
P.S. Maybe our lack of success with labels has something to do with
our lack of humidity?
