[CALIBK12] a question about labeling

[Sandy Richards]

Hello all-

I've read with interest the recent thread about labeling AR books, and I 
don't want to open a can of worms here but i have a question.  My 
district has chosen my school to pilot the Renaissance Place program, we 
had previously been using the desktop version of AR.  In the past, we 
had been putting the AR labels on the spine of the books to make it 
easier to find an AR book because it was a small selection of books in 
the library.  Now that we have access to all the quizzes, most of the 
books in my library will have a corresponding quiz and I don't want to 
put the labels on the outside anymore.  My question is this: Is there an 
authoritative recommendation or standard that I can site when I present 
my plan to the staff?  Does putting the reading level on the outside of 
the book violate the Library Bill of Rights?  I know there are many 
opinions about this, I'm looking for an authoritative source to site.

Thanks for your help.
