Subject: Limiting checkouts of library materials

 

In reply to your recent post on the CTLS list regarding check-out limits,
for Waco: 

Does your library limit the number of materials that a patron can check out
at one time? 

        Up to 65 items per card, but no more than 5 DVD/Videos.  

Do you limit by topic? (Example, only 2 books on snakes when you suspect the
entire 5th grade is doing reptile reports) 

No 

Do you limit by format (3 videos or DVDs)? 

Up to 5 DVD/Videos at one time per card 

 

Also, you may be interested in this document, data was gathered in early
2004 when we changed check-out limits/length for DVDs and Videos and
explored creating a Best Seller/High Demand loan period category.  Has loan
periods and format limits for many of the larger libraries in the state.
