Hello,
Does anyone know of, or indeed operate a scheme whereby laptops, running
specific software, may be loaned to library users?
I'm particularly interested to hear from the public library sector, but
would be grateful to hear of experiences/thoughts on this from anyone in any
sector.
* Do you limit the service to a particular client group? On what
basis?
* How do you ensure that loaded software is not tampered with?
* How do make sure such an expense item is returned? (Deposit? -
arm/leg/spouse?)
All contributions gratefully recieved.
Many thanks in advance,
Gary.
(PS - best wishes to all of you who told me, earlier in the season, that
Middlesbrough wouldn't reach mid-table mediocrity - why it's as good as a
cup final)
