In regard to episodes of people removing videos & CDs from our
Processing Department, we now lock all AV material in cabinets. After
our Acquisitions Deparment receives an item, they lock the item in a
cabinets (6' tall). The processing department removes only the number
of items that they can successfully process in a day. If any of the AV
items are not completely cataloged and sent to the branch by the end of
the day, the Cataloging Department then locks the item in cabinets in
their area.
The Technical Services Department is also locked after 5:00 pm each day
and all day Saturday and Sunday. No one is allowed in except Technical
Services staff, and they must get pre-approval from their supervisors.
Both of these new procedures have greatly reduced the number of items
lost.
