Here at the RCN we are planning for a refurbishment. This will mean the library will be based in one room elsewhere in the building while the work is done, and we will only have access to a small proportion of our normal stock. This will last about 6 months.
We're investigating issues like loans etc during the interim period and would like to hear from other institutions who have been in a similar situation.
When you had your refurbishment, did you increase the number of loans or renewals possible to members or did you just maintain the same privileges? We want to discourage people from coming in to the library too often during this time but are not quite sure how to go about it. It would be interesting to know how you dealt with this problem when you were going through a similar experience. Did you have any other problems that were an issue during this period?
I'll post any responses received on here in a few weeks' time.
Thank you
Rebecca
