Our Library is currently discussing an overall policy for AVM
Material and we were wondering what other libraries do with their
vinyl record collections.
We have been assigning a consecutive numbering sequence when
it comes to cataloguing - Are others cataloguing this format in the
same way or are you using standard Dewey classification?
Also, how do you shelve your record collection?. Currently our
collection is not open access but is housed in specially designed
cabinets and kept in store. (Our readers have to request the
material they want and it is retrieved by a member of staff). If others
do have their vinyl collection on open access is there many
instances of material being damaged or stolen?
Any thoughts on or off-list would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Carolyn Ryan
