Hi We are currently reviewing how we operate our short loan collection. We will be making changes to the building and installing a new library management system over the next 18 months so want to make the most of the opportunities. At present we have a closed access collection, kept behind the Issue Desk, and offer bookable fixed 4-hour loan periods. Does anyone operate an open access collection with rolling loan periods (or a mixture of rolling and fixed) and a booking system? Security gates and self issue? If so, please could we talk to you about how it works? Many thanks Jane Henley Assistant Librarian User Services J.B.Morrell Library University of York email: [log in to unmask] tel: 01904-433872
