[^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.
