Ken,

 

When I managed a public library branch, we found that putting the issue in a stiff plastic cover with a tight bar-lock helped to keep it from walking, and also helped to preserve it, since it tends to get more use than the average issue.

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

 

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
