save other catalogers some time and trouble, if we pointed this out in the OCLC WorldCat record. (Or do you think it's better to leave it in a 590 local note - which is not shared with OCLC or the rest of our own 23-campus consortium?) <o:p></o:p></p>

<p><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">I think that since chromium has been found to bind to bookcloth more readily--and therefore for the friability and offset potential to be significantly lower than in emerald green
bookcloth—there hasn’t been as much of a sense of urgency to create a database of those books. But even if the risks from those chromium yellow books is lower, it is still worth educating people about the need to practice good habits when using those materials
(i.e. washing hands immediately after).<br>
<br>
My concern is that there are potentially significant numbers of arsenical emerald green books in open-stacks in many of our libraries, since early to late 19<sup>th</sup> century books are often not deemed rare enough to move them to closed-stack special collections.
As people who are aware of these dangers, we should be working with our colleagues in charge of circulating collections to arrange audits of open-stacks collections for books that might contain arsenic.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p>Yikes! Are “poison books” a common occurrence in special collections?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>How do you figure out which ones are poisonous candidates? <o:p></o:p></p>
