Donut tags - after tagging new DVDs, we let them set for at least 24
hours before shelving them. This gave the donut tags a chance to cure
before going into patrons' players. Our thinking was less theft if the
item itself was tagged.

>> We have been out of the tape business for some time now. I'd actually caution those that still have any circulating - in that old tape media breaks down significantly, especially with the kind of use it may have seen in a public library. This is manifest by icky, clogging gunk on playback heads and pinch rollers in a patron's player. VHS are the worst, but audio tapes are not much better.
>>
>> Moving patrons beyond tape is not that difficult and if you feel so inclined, cassette audio converters (that feature a stereo 1/8 plug, compatible with iPod/iPad, Playaway and portable CD players) are only a couple of dollars.

>> Greetings from Concordia University Libraries' Art and Culture Program staff,
>>
>> Please join us for a series of events during the months of August and September - Educating for Peace: Never Again.
>> This program is intended to focus on the need to look at our history and our future in ways that will focus on peace and prevent us from repeating such horrendous events
>> as the Atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the Holocaust during WWII.
>>
>> We start our event series with a poet's response to the nuclear age on Saturday, August 1st, a Peace Lunch on August 6th, the 70th anniversary of the Atomic bombing of Hiroshima and an exhibit reception on August 9th, the 70th anniversary of the Atomic bombing of Nagasaki. Join us in remembering Hiroshima and Nagasaki and working for a nuclear-free future.
>>
>> We are honored and pleased to be partnering with Mountain Writers Series, Oregon Physicians for Social Responsibility, and The Wholistic Peace Institute to bring you these events.
>> Please see the attached flyer for dates and times.
>>
>> Sincerely,

> Sorry ? Kristynn corrected me. We are using the X-Range tag, not the StingRay. The X-range is made by FCI Smartag, and resold by other vendors. We found that it has a better read-range than the StingRay. The X-range was developed with the help of Salt Lake County Libraries.
