Dear Lislink,
We are planning for a new Library, and have been considering self-issue of laptops. Does anyone run such a service? I would be very grateful to hear how it works.
Does the user authenticate themselves, before getting hold of the laptop (presumably out of a secure cabinet)?
What sort of policies are used to circulate them?
What kit and facilities are needed in the way of power/data and cabinets?
Do the laptops just rebuild after being returned? Any problems with the previous borrower's use?
Many thanks and best wishes!
Pam
