Our library has started buying recordings of books on
CD. Where on the CD are libraries putting
identification? Will labels jam CD players? Thanks
in advance.

My car stereo specifically says not to use cd's
that have labels affixed to them because they
can damage the loading mechanism.

The only identification that Carrollton Public Library puts on the book CDs
is to write the barcode on top of the CD with a permanent marker. We don't
put labels on them because we had patrons complain about their fear the
security strips, etc. would damage their machines. We do make note that use
of items is at the patron's risk, which hopefully would forestall any
litigation (NOT!). We have had no notification of jams.

Judy, our library has a metal security strip that goes on each CD. There
is a round sticky laminate that goes over it (or maybe they are all
together). This works with CD's. It does not work with CD-ROM's and will
not work (once we start our collection) with DVD's.

We have had one person complain that their (expensive, foreign) car's
stereo would not take the CD's with the cover. I put them in my (not-that
expensive, American) car's stereo without a problem all the time.

Hope this helps.

I personally had a CD from a library jam in my CD player, which I then had to
have repaired. The CD label was not applied EXACTLY over the hole, and some
sticky part was hanging out into the hole, which seems to be why it got
jammed. I couldn't even open the CD drawer (it held 5 cds) once that CD went
in there.

So I believe there is a potential problem. On the other hand, I have used
many library cds with labels without having that problem ... until that one
...

Our library also uses this type of security strip. One problem seems
to be the naughty patron who removes or tries to remove the security
strip. The sticky residue makes it unplayable and the patron is charged
for replacement cost. You cannot put these on CD Roms because they move
at a much higher speed and the plastic can lift and cause a problem.
Also some fancy CD players will skip on a track-possibly due to the
security strip. Hard to prove why abut I do test all reported AV problems
and most are fine on our standard old library quality CD player.

We started adding books on CD to our books-on-tape circuits in February. I
was advised not to use any sort of label. Staff members at both Recorded
Books and Dual Dolphin/ISIS told me to write on the top of the disk (right
on the main part). We write WCLC and the accession number on each disk
with a red permanent marker and have not had any complaints.

We started buying DVDs this month and have not yet purchased any labels.
We write WCLC and the accession number on the inner circle with a red
permanent marker. Does anyone have an argument for using little round ID
labels rather than writing on the disk? I could use some advice from those
of you experienced with the new technology!

Oops -- I misread the original message -- I was thinking music CD's not
"recorded books." Maybe we should discuss. gmd

We do much the same here at our library. I think those strips are made
especially for CD's because I recall our Tech Services department ordering
them special. I could be wrong. And of course we have a label on the case.

Labels will not jam regular CD players, but CDs with labels WILL get stuck
in car CD players which is where most people want to listen to their CDs on
tape. So we are writing our library name on the CDs with a very-fine point
Sharpie.

In our library we put the call number and bar code on a lable on the case
but we also write the bar code directly on the cd.

We have been buying books on CD for about 2 years. We use the same "donut"
pre-printed ownership label that we use on our music CDs. We also use 3M
security strips on the CDs. We have had no complaints from either music or
book users that these have jammed in their machines.
