- We use date due slips but we do not stamp anything on the date
- due slip except the due date and the return date. What we have
- done that is very effective is purchase a RECALL stamp. We stamp
- each Notis generated "needed" notice we mail out with this stamp
- and we stamp it very close to the mailing address so that it is
- visible through the window of the window envelope. This seems to
- call attention to these notices as is the intention and brings in
- the desired results. Of course, $1.00 per day recall fines also
- helps! We also keep a log of all needed notices mailed out by
- date mailed. We had to begin to do this because we use to have
- problems with Notis indicating a notice had been generated when,
- indeed, it hadn't. Fortunately, we don't have that problem
- now--or atleast rarely but it still seems an effective way for us
- to prove a notice was mailed when you get those complaints such
- as "I never rec'd a notice....".
