erased books-on-tape

[BALL@NORADM.NWCC.BC.CA]

I concur with bright dayglow eye-catching labels for materials that
are not to be desensitized, labelled DO NOT DESENSITIZE.  That seems
to have been effective here.

But I did want to add another string to this discussion.  We have found
that borrowers do not always understand the care needed in handling
audio and video cassettes.  Borrowers often need to be reminded not
to place these materials near a strong magnetic force in their homes.
Not all our erased cassettes have been erased through errors at the
check-out.
