I am currently undertaking a project involving an assessment of our current procedures for adding photocopied articles to the short loan collection, which will also double as a piece of assessed coursework for my MA Information and Library Management. At present, we simply staple work together, assign a class number and barcode, and put the work inside a simple individual folder to be loaned out by students. This does mean that we can add items to the collection quickly, but unfortunately even after relatively little use the staples are removed by students and pages are mixed up or lost. I would be most interested to find out how other libraries process photocopied materials, and the advantages/disadvantages of differing practices. Including, perhaps, time taken to add items to the collection, durability of photocopies, any feedback from users, etc. Many thanks for your help Rachel Pearson [log in to unmask] Reservation/Short Loan Learning Resource Assistant University of Central Lancashire LLRS Preston
