Error during command authentication.

Greetings all,

Hoping that someone has solved this problem with a simple solution. I am stumped.

A few of our most interesting books have metallic end papers or metallic inks or metallic somethings. And consequently block our RFID pads and security gates from reading the tags. What to do?

Putting the books in enclosures and tagging the enclosure does no good. The tags are still blocked.

Labeling them in some means that calls attention to this issue is probably not a good way to go. I do not want to call attention to the fact that 1, the books have RFID tags which function as part of our collection security measures, or 2, that the tags can be blocked. I need a sneaky solution.

Putting all such books into a special "collection" of some sort behind the Circ. Desk seems to call attention to the 1 & 2 above.

Sending all this material to our offsite storage library for retrieval back to central campus get the problem out of my hair -- OK, I have no hair -- but that solution just seems wrong.

Has someone come up with a simple means to deal with this?

Thanks,

Peter
