Rotating collections
I thought I would try a blog about rotating collections. These collections are sent out from Main. There are two collections -large print and books on tape. They rotate around the system every three months. There home agency is BL or AV depending on the collection. The rotating tapes are a collection that has been purchased for this purpose. The large print is chosen from the large print collection at main and rotates around the system, staying at each branch 3 months and then moves to the next branch. When it makes it way back to main it is reshelved in the Browsing Library and a new collection is chosen to rotate. I try not to rotate the same titles more than once and try to have the titles new ones. The tape collection has items added to it as the selector choses and stays in this collection until it is weeded or lost. I hope this information is of interest to those of you who work in branches.

Great blog Lenore! The Rotating Collections are so important to the branches. They have limited space and this allows them to provide allows them to provide to their patrons much more breadth and depth than they could otherwise.

Okay, now let's see if I can post this puppy.
Great job on your blog. I knew you could do it. Any time I can help let me know. When I help you it helps me.
Thanks Lenore! It's always good to know what has happened before we get those big blue boxes of stuff. I just learned this week that if I have a damaged item from the rotating collection, it needs to go back to the "home site" not the current location. Logical when you think about of course ~grin~
