This is a place where the personnel of the Olin Library at Rollins College can propose changes to policies and procedures, comment on other proposals, and generally question why we do things the way we do. It is only open to personnel of the Olin Library.

Rock, Paper, Scissors

Or rather scissors, papercutter, stapler, stapler remover, pencil sharpener and tape.

We have all these supplies at the Circ desk and we even have the odd stapler etc. at various public printers around the building. I would like to propose that we have each of these items at each printer in the Olin Library (including those in the computer labs.) Why?

  1. It is a hassle when people have to walk to the Circ desk to get a paper stapled for instance.
  2. It is a hassle if they have to ask.
  3. It is a hassle when they get there if they are told that they have to use it at the desk.
We would also be committed to replacing any devices that go missing. We would also continue to have these items at the Circ. desk.

So, what do you think?

I think this is a great idea that our patrons will appreciate.

I also think it's a good idea. Oftentimes students will knock on my door asking to borrow a stapler. I could order inexpensive ones from Office Depot, that way if they go missing it won't be such a big deal.
