Applying Tags to Books
The following procedure outlines a method for staggering the placement of tags in treating
printed materials. This procedure is recommended to obtain the highest level of
performance with ILS Open Plus products.
The procedure requires materials to be treated in shelf order, which maintains tag
staggering for the materials when placed on the shelves. Tag staggering helps to ensure
that the materials can be reliably scanned during inventory operations and increases the
number of items that can be processed by staff station readers, patron self-checkout
stations, and security gates.
The diagram below shows the pattern layout on a single book. In practice, only one tag is
placed in a book, but each treatment of a book is a progression of the pattern, which
repeats.
In some cases, the book height will not support the placement of a tag at positions 2 or 3.
In this scenario, the next logical placement in the progression of the pattern is used. For
example, if the height of the printed material only allows 2 positions, then repeat the 2
position pattern until the next printed material allows all positions.
