And who is going to check that readers do not 'helpfully' re-file
materials they retrieve; or will you display large notices ordering that
they place consulted items on a special 'returned items' table and/or
trolley? We never allow 'help yourself' or re-filing, as we like
readers (and staff) to be able to find the materials again!

Subject: Open access for maps
Hi everyone!
We will be closing our Map Library in around 12 month's time and
relocating the collection to our Main Library.
We are considering having the collection on open access.
I'm aware that there are a couple of libraries that already run their
collections in this way and I'd like to get in contact to see how we
can ensure a smooth running service.
If you've tried it and found it didn't work, I'd also like to hear from
you.
Best wishes
Denise Harrison
