RE: Circulating Laptops in the Library

["Wendy Yurt" <wyurt@xxxxxxxxxx>]

We have been circulating laptops for about a year now.  It has worked out
very well.  We set up an item type for them and use a loan rule that allows
for 3 hours with no renewals.  We put theft detection strips on
EVERYTHING!!!!  The laptop, ethernet cards, power cords (anything we hand
out).  We also keep a drivers license or other form of id, no exceptions.

I will like to know if any of the Innovative user libraries circulate
Laptops
in their library.  How are the equipment catalogued and circulated?  What
kind
of security measures do you use?  What are your loss and / or damage rate?

Please reply directly to me; oowopetu@xxxxxxxxxx
Thank you.
