Creating a Library of Things Bookable Collection-Questions!
by Paula Drummond 25 Oct '23

25 Oct '23

Our library has some giant outdoor games in our Library of Things collection which are very popular with our patrons. A number of patrons have said that they would like to be able to book these items for specific events instead of going on a waitlist and hoping they get them at the right time. For those of you who have a Library of Things bookable collection, we have some questions about creating a booking system: How does your booking system work? Do you offer this via your ILS, from a third party vendor, or did you create your own system? Do you purchase duplicate things for your booking collection or did you move your existing things to the bookable collection (no longer available for general requests without a bookable time) Is there any other advice you have/ptifalls to avoid? Thanks for any information you can provide! -- Paula C. Drummond Head, Adult Services Department Ypsilanti District Library 5577 Whittaker Road Ypsilanti, MI 48197 (734) 482-4110 Ext. 1306 drummond(a)ypsilibrary.org <https://husky.ypsilibrary.org/owa/redir.aspx?REF=_mn39L7Y2bDAjtb914NTArR2Qo…>
