-----------------------

[1] Local practice and application of box title labels may vary.

[2] When cumulated into a bound volume, the call number label and security strip device are located as per 3.1.1. The binder also stamps author/title information onto the spine or front cover, duplicates the item barcode and places it on the back cover in the standard position. Because printed endpapers serve as a property mark an edge stamp is not needed.

[3] Accession and label newspapers only if submitted under section 408 of copyright law for copyright registration.

[4] Posters or other material, which is stored separately are not included in this description.
