I am trying to find out if there are any mandatory or suggested minimum staffing level guidelines for academic libraries in the UK. I have been unable to track any down, but if colleagues out there know better I would be very grateful for some pointers. I would also be interested to hear what health and safety issues smaller academic libraries have considered when setting staffing levels outside office hours. Our library is single-site but with two service points. Please reply to me rather than the list and I will summarise points of interest for colleagues.
