Re: [Videolib] noise canceling headphones in your library?
Hi Debra, We circulate the Peltor noise cancelling earmuffs. http://www.amazon.com/3M-Peltor-H10A-Optime-Earmuff/dp/B9LI4K/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8qid=1439922739sr=8-1keywords=noise+cancelling+earmuffs They have been very popular. They are vinyl covered and we wipe them off after each use just like the rest of our equipment. We currently circulate 15 of them for 2 days. Our Accessibility Resource Center on campus liked them so much they are ordering a couple for their testing room for students with disabilities. I picked these because they cancelled out a lot of noise and they look pretty similar to our regular headphones we check out.

Hi- Does anyone circulate noise canceling headphones in their library? We are doing what we can go keep noise levels down on two floors, but sometimes this is impossible. I know of the sanitation issues and expense of such phones, but I'm curious to hear your pros and cons. Thanks! Debra Debra H.

Deb We do not loan noise canceling headphones, but we do hand out on request, disposable ear plugs. This started when the library was undergoing renovation, so we had buckets of the plugs out for the public. Now we just make them available. No need to sanitize anything, they are all individually wrapped, in sets of 2. Widely availableŠ less than $.10 a set. http://www.bosssafety.com/p-11882-moldex-mellows-foam-earplugs.aspx Also can be acquired in custom printed boxes for promotional use. -deg deg farrelly Media Librarian/Streaming Video Administrator Arizona State University Libraries Tempe, AZ 85287-1006 602.332.3103 On 8/18/15, 12:39 PM, videolib-requ...@lists.berkeley.edu videolib-requ...@lists.berkeley.edu wrote: Hi- Does anyone circulate noise canceling headphones in their library?
