AND

remember to print, or otherwise save a list of PRIVATE, SCRATCH, DBB, DBS,
and whatever other sorts of tapes you may have, for reference if one of
your experiments goes wrong.

What he said; I've done this.

Additional knob-polishing, lily-gilding, etc:

Remember that you don't have to REMOVE the volumes on checkout, and
that you don't have to check the label when you check them in.  This
can really accellerate experiments.

Remember also that it's easy to get back to the state of "everything
checked out, and library gone", so you can get it wrong several times,
and ry again with very little cost.

While this is an intimidating process since it's so uncommon, it's not
really either complex or dangerous.
