Dear colleagues
At the University of Wolverhampton, we are reviewing our short loan
collections, and our practice regarding high demand material.
I would be grateful if you could spare some time to answer the following
questions regarding such content in your institution:
1. What loan periods do you class as 'short loan' in your institution?
2. How do you decide which items are placed into a short or restricted
loan category?
3. Do you operate a secure short loan area? (i.e. always staffed, or
items brought out on request?)
4. Do you have any particular policy regarding short loan material?
5. Is the provision of online content (i.e. ebooks, digitising material
under the CLA licence) reducing the need for short loan in your
institution?
I am happy to summarise if people are interested. Please could
respondents let me know if they would be happy to discuss this further
with me?
Many thanks
Helen
