              The issue and impact of book mutilation as a by-product of electronic security systems is examined in this article.
          Abstract
              The article begins with a review of the operation of electronic security systems and includes a discussion of a survey on book mutilation as a by-product of electronic security systems.  Reflections about our understanding and tolerance of this phenomenon, and an exploration of the defense we have against those who mutilate our collections in their attempts to comprise electronic security systems conclude the article.
