Do any libraries out there use liability wavers before trying to fix or set up a patron's device? That is, if someone comes into the library and asks for help setting up their iPad to download electronic books, does anyone have a waver they must sign relieving the library of all liability should the device be dropped or in any other way damaged? This was a question that came up recently, and we are researching different options. Thank you in advance. Steven F. Smith Administrative Librarian Dearborn Public Library 16301 Michigan Ave. Dearborn, MI 48124 (313) 943-2812
We use this when our tech assistance has to physically touch a patron's technology equipment.
