Hi all, Twice in one week! You were all so helpful the first time, I thought I'd try again! Today I am looking for information from institutions that provide pens/notepads/USB sticks etc. for students to purchase within the library (I realise vending machines have been discussed fairly recently, but I'm hoping for a wider idea of what people are doing). I am especially interested in where these items are being sold, whether from a desk during staffed hours, from a vending machine or somewhere else. I would be very interested to know if people have considered selling materials or a vending option and decided against it, or have tried and removed such a service. I am also interested in what items are being sold, if any, and what is the most popular. I will summarise any responses for the list. Many thanks in advance for any help.
