ELLISON LETTER MACHINE AND DIE POLICY
AALS general guidelines concerning the use of the
Ellison machines & dies:
-
The AALS Office has assorted colors of
construction paper available to cut out letters and shapes.
-
Contact the Office Assistant (Diane Jones) to
request up to 100 copies of a shape. You may make more copies on
your own in the AALS Office or you may check out dies. Please
allow 2-3 weeks for the copies to be made and sent back to your
library.
-
The machine is heavy so it will remain in the AALS
Office.
-
You may use the dies and machine anytime you are
in the AALS Office. For safety reasons, please ask the AALS staff
for a quick demonstration before you use the machine for the first
time.
-
If you want cut-outs of special material, you must
purchase the material with your own funds. You may ship the
special material to the AALS Office if you want us to do the
cutting.
-
Dies will now circulate to member libraries for
two weeks. You may check out up to two (2) dies at one time. If
you check out the dies, you will need to mail them back to AALS at
your library’s expense. Your library will be held responsible
should any dies be damaged or lost.
Special materials, such as sponges and vinyl are
available from the Ellison Company and are listed in their catalog.
Call the AALS Office if you would like a list of materials available
from them.
