Subject: Re: HIT: Magazine covers
I have both locking and non-locking magazine covers in my
library and have had the magazine - cover and all - walk
away. This year I decided to catalog and barcode all
issues and let kids check out the magazines and that has
pretty much stopped the walk-aways. Who would have guessed
it?
