Do any of you have any recommendations about whether to use plain paper spine labels or foil-backed paper labels? I'm getting ready to classify and catalog a room full of books, and want to make the right choice.Thanks!

I suggest that you look at the options in Demco catalog (library supplies catalog). If you need a catalog, 1-800-356-1200. I like the paper adhesive labels as the foil ones can be shiny and hard to read. I agree, be sure to put the 2 or 3" tape on the spine to cover the label or your can purchase protective labels by the package.
I came across a book that had been withdrawn from a library that had a foil backed label. It had held up quite well.
I'd suggest regular labels (perm. adhesive) and cover with protective plastic label protectors which will protect from smudges and wear and tear. Don't use regular labels without protectors.
