Subject: [padg] security for rare books

I am in the process of looking at safes for temporarily housing rare 
books that will be "in process" (i.e., being cataloged in the cataloging 
department or being repaired in the conservation lab).  As stand alone 
safes are large and expensive, I'm wondering if anyone has found an effective 
yet inexpensive solution for providing extra security for these 
items.

Any comments or information that you can share may be sent 
directly to s

Many thanks,
Scott
