[Genealib] locking up the microform reader/printer lenses

[Brannan, Joyce A.]

We lock up our lenses because we have had people break them.

We have several Minoltas and frequently switch lenses between them. We've lost other things, but never a lens. I would not keep the extra one out, however.

	We have a new Minolta 6000 microfilm/microform reader/printer with 2 lenses of different magnifications.  I know that these lenses are expensive and we are debating wether or not to lock them up in a drawer or something.  Now, I don't like to lock things up because then they can only be used with staff help but I also don't want to lose them.  Has anyone ever lost one of these lenses to theft?  
	Thanks,
