----------------------------Original message---------------------------- Essentially, we don't handle security for CD-ROMs any differently than other library materials. Some circulate, some don't. Currently they are shelved next to our videos. All are 3-M "stripped." We don't have the space to keep them in a non-accessible area even if we wanted to. In fact, more of a challenge for us is increasing their visibility, since so far they're hardly being used. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Dana Beth phone: 314-935-5218 Art & Architecture Librarian fax: 314-935-4362 Washington University email: [log in to unmask] Campus box 1061 http://library.wustl.edu/~beth/ St. Louis, MO 63130 ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ On Fri, 22 Aug 1997, Frances Adams-O'Brien wrote: > ----------------------------Original message---------------------------- > For all of our A/V materials (videos, CDs, CDROMs, audiocassettes, > lasers)we have a display dummy for the public to see and keep the items > themselves in the reserve room at the circulation desk.
