[Libs-Or] Libs-Or Digest, Vol 193, Issue 32

[Sarah jesudason]

Hi Jane,

Our reference books have been interfiled with non-fiction for several
years. If a patron requested, we would allow a short-term checkout. We're
now going through and making most of those titles regular non-fiction to
make them easier for patrons to use and to increase ease of access
throughout our cooperative. The few things we are keeping in reference are
things like the ORS.

Hope this helps,
Sarah
