We are looking for a reliable shelf label that won't fall off the metal shelves. We have used magnetic and sticky labels for taxonomic names but was wondering what other people are using. What works and what doesn't for durability and time efficiency.</div><div>Any suggestions are welcome.</div><div>Thank you, Kathy</div><div><div><div><br></div>-- <br><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr">Kathy Omura, Collection Manager<br>Marine Biodiversity Center<br>Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County<br>(213) 763-3386<br></div></div></div></div></div> </body></html>
