<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">In addition to the advice shared here already, we also add a restriction note in the 506 field with a phrase such as: “Binding contains arsenic. Handle with nitrile gloves.” The 506 also prints on our Aeon
call slips, so staff are alerted to the presence of poisonous substances before retrieving the item. We also house these items in phase boxes, printed with this information, as well.

(available through the link Samantha shared) against our catalog to identify potential titles to test and have added other items we’ve found in the stacks since. The bookmarks from the poison book project have also been extremely useful.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
