Chris, We have very few restrictions on what media students can borrow and we extend that privilege to alumni as well. Alumni use seems to ebb and flow and does not put an undue burden on our resources.
I try to keep our media policy as close to our policy for lending books as is possible. Steven Steven C. Matthew Head of Access Services S.E.

Half of our collection is for student home use but we don't extend that to alumni for various reasons - mostly financial and that it falls outside of our mission. Yet we loan books to them so I'm softening.
