Just a couple of quick points here.
Firstly, the US Archivists listserv has been carrying a long discussion on
labels over thepast months, and I seem to remeber something about labelling
CD-ROMS. The listserv message archive can be found at:
http://www.egroups.com/list/archives/info.html
and can be searched for particular threads.
Secondly, I don't know if it just me but I have noticed that a lot of
requests on this list-serv are now saying "replies off-list please". Can I
gently suggest that this isn't very helpful?-The point of the listserv is
to encourage sharing of information. I can see that off-list replies are
needed if you are making confidential comments or remarks addressed solely
to the sender of the message, but as for the rest - let us all in on the
secret of the label suppliers!!
Thirdly - no, I won't say it, even if it is Friday
