RE: [SERIALST] question about the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue

We tattletape all of our SI issues twice (& still lose some, though not as many as we used to) and the swimsuit issue 3 times.  So far it remains here.

Knock on wood.

RE: [SERIALST] question about the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue

We don’t put that issue out at all.  The major reason for this being that we are a Christian institution and that issue does not really follow the ideals we try to exemplify.  I don’t think we’ve ever had someone come and ask for the Swimsuit issue, that I’m aware of.

A male staff member of our library recommended date stamping the face of the centerfold. It worked!

Hi, Ken,

              We had the same experience as you describe. My supervisors wouldn’t like me saying it, but now we just don’t care.

You could try putting it on reserve and taking their school ID.

Hello!

For many years, our library has kept the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue at the Circulation Desk. No one would ever ask for it. So this year we decided to try putting it out with the other Sports Illustrated issues, and made sure that it was tattletaped.

Well... within a week, the issue went missing and it's still missing.

What do other libraries do with the Swimsuit issue?

Thank you,

Ken
