[Genealib] locking up the microform reader/printer lenses

[Phyllis Rickard]

The lens we leave in the machine is the one that works best with the most commonly used microfilm. The other one is in my office and I switch them as the patrons' needs change. Daily, sometimes. But I never leave the unused one with the machine.

  Subject: [Genealib] locking up the microform reader/printer lenses


  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,
  Elaine Hayes
