Hi Bev
We have a reciprocal borrowing scheme with a group of local libraries (HWATL - http://bit.ly/NK9k3i ) where there is no charge but the potential borrower does need to bring a referral form. We are also looking at doing a similar scheme with other MEGlib libraries. We are part of INSPIRE too but that is reference access only.
I have looked at a form of external borrower scheme with an annual charge, but at the time it was felt there was no call for it;
As you say though, we may need to re visit this one, any income is welcome!
I would be very interested in your replies
Kind regards
Wendy

Subject: Calling FE Librarians - do you have external borrowers?
Hello there
If you are working in an FE library/LRC, can you tell me:
- Do you have 'external' borrowers who are not enrolled students or staff?
- What do they have access to (how many items can they borrow, can they use the computer network)?
- If you charge for this service, how much is it?
It's the end of year and several students who are leaving would like to continue using our LRC - I thought it might be a potential for income (always popular) and would also look good as a community engagement activity.
Thank you in advance of any responses.
