Do the items need to have names inserted? If they are shelved in class number order and the user is given the number (and possibly barcode number in case of multiple reservations on titles), there should be no necessity for names.

The Information Commissioner has held that what people are reading is personal information Michael Heaney Executive Secretary, Oxford University Library Services Clarendon Building, Bodleian Library Oxford OX1 3BG UK t: +44 (0) 1865 277 236 f: +44 (0) 1865 277 187 e: [log in to unmask] -----Original Message----- From: A general Library and Information Science list for news and discussion. [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Helen Jamieson Sent: 11 July 2007 09:21 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [LIS-LINK] Reservations on open shelves We are currently looking at refurbishing our issue/help desk area in the LRC (Edge Hill University) and are investigating the possibility of having reservations on open access shelves ie so users can collect them themselves without coming to the desk. This would be in a fairly open area, although fairly near to the help desk. I would be interested to hear from any other sites who have this model and how it works (or doesn't) for you? Please email responses to Mark Ramsden [log in to unmask] and he will collate for the list. Many thanks Helen
