3.1.6
Labelling Diskettes
Since all diskettes look alike, it is important to label them promptly and carefully.
The label should tell you, at a glance, what kind of information is stored on the diskette, and
whether it is a master, working, or backup diskette. Other notations, such as when the diskette
was last updated, can help you identify it quickly.
Label each diskette with the kind of self-adhesive labels shown in Figure 3.5. Fill out the label
before attaching it to the diskette, or use a felt tip pen.
Writing on the diskette jacket with a ballpoint pen or pencil may gouge the record-
ing surface.
3.1.7
Storing Diskettes
3-6
Always replace a diskette in its protective envelope as soon as you remove the diskette from
the disk drive. Even when you intend to use the diskette again shortly, insert it in the protective
envelope.
Store the diskette upright, in an appropriate container (Figure 3-5). Containers may be pur-
chased from your local authorized North Star Dealer, or any computer media retailer.
