[ILL-L] Sensitizing or De-Sensitizing Books Borrowed

[Megan Bayonet]

We've rarely run into a problem with borrowed ILLs setting off our sensors.
I do put detuning labels on everything that I send out - I hope it cuts down
on other folks' hassle.

I am interested in getting a general idea of how many libraries do not
sensitize or desensitize books that are borrowed from other libraries and
the reasoning behind your choice.   Right now we just hand books borrowed
around the gate, since our current system is only alarmed on the exit door.
I believe that the reasoning for that goes way back to a fear of interfering
with someone else's security system.

However, with our new security system, patrons can enter and exit from
either door and there are security gates on both sides.  This means that the
alarm will sound when students walk in with ILL books.

You may reply off the list if you prefer.
