[Publib] Newspapers in Public Libraries

[Robert L. Balliot]

Sue,

 

When you use the term 'We' is it an imperial we or

a presumptive representation of the list readership?

 

Simple anagram:

 

Mendocino (County) Ukiah  (CA)  

 

Haiku, I enjoy your intellect and insight. :-)

We are considering revamping the way we shelve our newspapers--we put the
current issues on wooden sticks and keep the older issues on flat shelves
for a month.  We've had a lot of patron complaints about the sticks, and the
papers are invariably taken off them and strewn all over.  

Could you let me know:

--what are user-friendly alternatives to wooden sticks

--how many issues (week, month, etc.) do you keep out easily available to
the public

--anything else useful you can think of regarding newspapers!

 

Could you please be more specific about patron complaints concerning the
poles/sticks?  I've always thought of them as quite efficient and tidy.

I'm not sure of anything more "user friendly" than just lying them flat, but
inevitably I see "loose" papers disassembled far more often.

I'd say a daily should have a full week, maybe 8 days worth on the open
shelves.  A weekly or monthly, two or three issues.
