We have thrown around the idea of extended loans, but the decision was not to go ahead with it. Because students can renew as many time as they want, as long as no-one else wants the book. Plus if they did get longer loans they would still have to return if the item was then reserved, so they wouldn't be able to keep it for any different length as if they were renewing anyway. There is the option of not fining dyslexic students, but obviously not advertising this too much!! We need to remember that the whole thing is about "equality" not giving them something extra. Plus I found that a lot of the students didn't want "extra" services just the opportunity to be equal.
