Rare book Identification Supplies



Dear all,
We are a small public library with a small collection
of much used -"rare" books in our Local History Room.
We are in the process of recataloging many old titles
and also adding new titles. In the past, barcodes and
other marks of identification were stamped on the
individual book (before I came!). Now we are trying to
go to a bookmark with all the idenfication marks on
that and not the book.

However, a few staff object commenting that the
bookmark will get lost, etc. Does anyone out there use
any other type of identifying method? We are
considering a wraparound/half sleeve - sort of cover
that would go around the front cover and attach to
itself, and putting the marks on that, but I am having
trouble finding a supplier of those types of wraps,
especially those that would be archivally sound.

Any suggestions would be welcome! Thanks!
