Re: Citation re. "Post-it" damage



My personal pet peeve, after having seen the evidence on old journals and
books, is paper clips. In a human area like St. Louis, or if they have been
stored in a damp area such as a basement, the paper clips tend to rust and
also make an impression on the page.

I can add an anecdote as well.  A few years ago
a patron was doing research in our library
using a periodical from 1911. No one realized
that the patron was using post-its, and they
were only discovered after he had been gone for
several months.  The post-its were stronger than
the brittle pages of the periodical, and when we
tried to remove them, entire pages would break.
They also left a bumpy residue on the pages.
After this incident, use of this periodical was
restricted.
