Replying to the question about microform readers/printers:
At Elon University, the microform readers/printers reside in the
Periodicals/Gov Docs Department and are watched over by the periodicals
staff. Microfilm and fiche do not circulate but are used onsite; usage
is tracked in a spreadsheet format. Reshelving is done by periodicals
student workers.
This arrangement has made sense for us since most materials in microform
are periodicals or state and federal documents.

Subject: Re: Microform machine responsibilities
Good Morning, Christine,
At Dowling College the microform reader printers are kept in
Circulation Department where all materials are checked in and out and
where many of the students use the computers. If microfilm becomes
damaged, replacement copies are ordered through Technical Services where
ordering of materials takes place. The Library secretary is informed if
the machines should need repair, etc.
I hope this helps,
Anne McCaffrey

Everyone,
I am curious about which department in your libraries are responsible
for the maintenance of your microform reader printers, and the reasoning
behind why that department has that duty. I am particularly interested
in academic libraries.
Thanks,
Christine

We do check in our dailies, but not electronically. We have a little
Kardex folder and our students do the checking in that -- they don't
need to learn our system, just to check in the right box. And it's worth
the effort to us because people do wander into the office to ask about a
particular issue and we hate to go looking for one that hasn't arrived,
anyway!

Yes, we check in our daily print issues of newspapers. We only
subscribe to

I just returned from the excellent NASIG conference in Denver and in the
midst of the excitement forgot to ask attendees the question my bosses
sent me to ask: does anybody electronically check-in daily newspapers,
either print or e-versions? we are trying to figure out if this is
something that would be worth doing at all of our 75 library branches or
if it is completely impractical. Thanks for any responses.

I use an excel file with an alphabetical list of titles and a small box
for each day of the month to check them in. We do check in a few of our
weeklies on the SIRSI Serials Module, ie The Call, National Catholic
Reporter, and some others.

Linda,
Our library does not check in daily newspapers. The reason: we do
not claim dailies so checking them in would only add to the workload
to no avail.
