We keep one year of Sports Illustrated in catalog boxes on the bottom shelf. Our practice has been to put the swimsuit issue directly into the catalog boxes instead of displaying it. We figure that way any patron who is looking for it can find it, but we avoid making our more conservative users uncomfortable.

Best,

Dana

Hi LeAnne,

 

We do not, and never have, put the swimsuit edition on our shelves. This year, I contacted  our Ebsco rep and asked that we do not receive the swimsuit issue. In response, Sports Illustrated will extend our subscription.

 

Hope this helps.

I am curious to hear about how others are handling the most recent swimsuit issue of Sport Illustrated.  We have very conservative users, who frequently turn over or hide journals with what they consider to be objectionable covers.  It goes against my normal policy but, rather than lose this issue of Sport Illustrated (which even I have to admit is a bit much), I had my assistant make a copy of the cover and place a sticker on it saying the issue could be requested at the circ desk. 

I’d be interested to hear how others handle this annual issue.
