RE: Erased Books-on-tape

[BALL@NORADM.NWCC.BC.CA]

I sympathize with accidental erasures of taped materials.  We have had
the same problem, now & again.  We have placed a brilliant day-glow
sticker on the outside of such "kits" stating "DO NOT DESENSITIZE" which
has helped.   However, I also think that patrons sometimes need to be
instructed in the home use of audio tapes, so that the erasure doesn't
happen at home by unknowlingly (or carelessly) placing the tapes on/
nearby a strong magnetic field.
