Applying "Study" Labels to 170 Unlabeled HRRD CD-ROM Cases

The Desired Outcome -- Labels that look like the existing 1998 HRRD Labels:

<== New Label After the Steps Shown Below

<== Original, 1998 CD-ROM Case Labels

<== The "Case Spine" is the edge with the HINGE pins.  This edge has a flat black surface on the face that DOESN'T MOVE when you lift the lid/open the case. This is important because both the "front" edge and the "spine" look alike when the case is closed.

Overview of Steps:

• Step 01 - Assemble Materials and Ensure Case is Facing Up with Spine Towards you:
• Step 02 - Ensure that the Label You Lift off MATCHES the CD-ROM Study Number:
• Step 03 - Align the PENCIL line at the LEFT Edge of the case.  Press lightly to "tack" that left edge ONLY..
• Step 04 - Stretch label up high and guide RIGHT End PENCIL Line towards edge of case.
• Step 05 - Ensure RIGHT Pencil line aligns with edge.  If necessary, lift label up and try again.
• Step 06 - Use the Bent 3 x 5 Index Card to Start the CREASE in the label.  Start at LEFT Side.
• Step 07 - Press lightly.  Do NOT Slide the Card.
• Step 08 - Pull Card away from label.  Reposition to the RIGHT and repeat the LIGHT Press.
• Step 09 - Continue the Pull-away and Light press until you reach the Right edge of the label.
• Step 10 - Leaving the Index Card at the RIGHTMOST position.  Use your fingers to PRESS HARD at several points along the index card.  DO NOT SLIDE THE INDEX CARD.
• Step 11 - After the last HARD Press, remove index card.  If any part of the label is not firmly attached, re-apply the index card and PRESS HARD at that location.
• Step 12 --- You are done with this CD-ROM Case.
