I am wondering if anyone on the list has already dealt with the problem of
library workers who have to photocopy,from often heavy,thick,bound journals?
Whilst we would anticipate that in the future everything will be done
electronically (subject to copyright issues) we are currently having
problems. Our workers lift and then place the bound journal onto the
photocopier and then turn pages etc. This is causing "RSI" type problems.
We have restricted the time they perform the task but somone must have
dealt with this issue previously. (I understand the British Library do not
bind there journals so do not have this as a problem). We are really
looking for a way of changing practice now but no one seems to be able to
help.
Any suggestions please?
Thank you - yet again
Jean
