(Arabic, Japanese, Farsi, etc.)
Books in languages that read right to left should be processed in the opposite manner of Western language books, which read left to right:
- The title page is in what we think of as the “back” of the book. Find the title page and property-stamp on the verso.
- Top-edge stamp the book with the name of the Divisional Library.
- Bookplate, when appropriate, should be affixed to the inside of the BACK cover.
- Barcode placement will be the same as for Western Language books, holding the book as you do for Western Language books:
- Cloth – affix a single barcode to the upper left corner, no more than 1” from the top edge and no more than 3” from the left
- Paper – affix a piggyback barcode inside the back cover, 1” from the top and centered.
