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?

Mandel VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
