GEN: magazine mailing and anthrax

[Kathy Clark <KathyC@HARKER.ORG>]

Dear LM_NET:

An interesting question to think about:  if the recommendation is to now
wash your hands after handling the mail, what should you do with circulating
magazines, especially in a library situation?

Is anyone concerned about the risk factor from magazines that are not
shipped in a sealed envelope/plastic cover?

My supervisor has called EBSCO, our magazine distributor, and they are
looking into this, but we wonder if anyone else has thought about this
issue?

Thank you,
Kathy
