I understand the need for procedure, BUT NOT at the expense of customer service and reasonable access to materials.

Nor, for that matter, do all small-town libraries have a webmaster on staff. Best bet is to e-mail or call the library first.<br /><br />The check-out procedure for even in-house use is probably for tracking usage - and damage, if any occurs. There are pros and cons to closed stacks. Open stacks can work if patrons don&#39;t try to put stuff away themselves (the source of 99% of my MIAs). My historic newspaper microfilms are partly closed. They are open stacks M-F 8-5; if you want to use them outside those hours, you generally need to make prior arrangements. They are in a room that is locked outside of those hours because we do not have the money to staff that area all hours the library is open.Amanda (the librarian)http://www.blogger.com/profile/09902380558583190500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4369519054620493278.post-55641385361501968902012-04-24T10:22:27.832-04:002012-04-24T10:22:27.832-04:00On my recent visit to the Tallapoosa, Georgia, sma...On my recent visit to the Tallapoosa, Georgia, small town library, the newspaper microfilm would have been accessible, but since they had no operable microfilm readers.... . Nothing about it on their website (I checked the night before to see if the newspaper issues I needed,1899-1907, were available). That being said, I will continue to check the local library&#39;s resources, because for the most part it is rewarding.

While their systems may be a little more arcane than those of the larger institutions, they are user friendly, and the librarians are often more familiar with their collections. Yayy for local libraries!<br /><br />Cheers,<br />Jenniferirisheyes jenniferhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04588116386284997687noreply@blogger.com
