[Videolib] Equipment circulation

[Moshiri, Farhad]

Does you library circulate multi-part equipment such as digital cameras that 
include the camera, batteries, charger, cables, lenses, etc.? How do you manage 
the circulation? For privacy purposes, we use anonymizer option in our system. 
So if something is broken and we don't see it upon return, we don't know who 
checked it out before. How do you mange that?  You can reply directly to me 
mosh...@uiwtx.edu  if you don't want to post it here. 
Thanks.

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues 
relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, 
preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and 
related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective 
working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication 
between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and 
distributors.

We treat them as kits. All items go in a tub. Barcode is on the camera (or main 
item). A photo and list of contents (battery, cables, tripod) are on the lid 
(also a popup note when checking items in & out).

Workers are supposed to check contents before Checkin so that we can 
immediately contact the patron.
