Here at the University of Portsmouth we are looking into the pros and cons =
of roving as part of our enquiry services review. I would be very grateful =
if you could tell us how you manage your roving service, if you have one =
(and if you don't have one, why not). In particular we would like to know:

Who does it? Professional staff, library assistants, or students? Do you =
have dedicated rovers, or do you do something else such as shelving at the =
same time?

When do you provide a roving service? Just in core hours or all the time =
you are open? All year round or just at the start of the year?

Do you require rovers to wear a T-shirt/sash/tabard to identify them as =
library staff? Do you carry a clipboard/laptop?

Do you do roving as well as having fixed enquiry desks?

In general, have your experiences of roving been positive or negative?

I will summarise responses for the list.

Many thanks in anticipation.
