Policies

I have not been posting as much here recently as I have been spending a lot of time at the Reference Desk as my co-referencer has been out with his wife just having their first kid (he came back this week so things are starting to get back to normal). I send this post out there to try and pick the brain of other librarians out there of some good policies that are not necessarily mainstream thought. The library that I work at could be called conservative in that it seems that maintaining the status quo is the the objective, which may or may not be good since we are a Law School Library and not "public" and seeking funding and the such.

By policies I am thinking things such as the anti-smell policy I read about yesterday and some of the no minors without adults with them policies that are out there. (Neither of which we have but it might be nice to have something in writing if we need it)

I am also considering pitching the idea of moving some (a couple) of monstrous sets down behind the circulation desk to facilitate easier loose-leafing of them. It shouldn't terribly restrict use (like anyone uses the Federal Tax Coordinator anyway) and it would keep me or my workers from loading 30 volumes on to a book truck rolling it downstairs to the Circ Desk, every week when they come in. If you have thoughts, or alternative solutions to this let me know.
