  • Stamp newspapers on the front page of each of the major sections.
For Microforms: 
  • Place stamps on the microfilm boxes or microfiche envelopes.

Security Stripping

For Journals:

  • Place a security strip inside each issue of journals. For loose issues, use the green double sided strips; use white single sided strips for bound volumes.
  • Place the strip in the margin close to the spine. Do not cover text.
  •  Do not strip on a tear-out sheet or card.
  • Do not strip newsletters or anything with holes.

 

For Newspapers:

  • The only newspaper that needs security stripping is Wall Street Journal. Place a security strip in the Money and Investing section of the paper.
