Hello all,
We are currently re-examining our restricted loan collection of reading list items and would like to hear from other institutions who manage similar collections. We are particularly interested to hear from anyone who operates a restricted loan collection without the luxury of a separate secure area.
We are interested to know:
What criteria is used for the selection of books included in the collection?
What fines are implemented on overdue items?
How many books are students allowed to borrow from the collection at any one time?
What kind of booking/reservation systems are in place and are reservations made through the library computer system or by a manual booking system?
We would also welcome any other general comments or ideas.
Thanks,
Lisa Charnock
