<p class="MsoNormal">We have found exactly the same thing that Terran describes. Oftentimes, we’ve had larger, more well-funded libraries indicate that they’re afraid the smaller libraries will “clear their shelves” of new materials. In reality, we’ve found
that the smaller libraries contribute a ton because they have retained items that are often weeded at the larger libraries, filling out series and providing access to items that are out of publication. Age protection is the thing that seems to alleviate the
fear. We have found that three month age protection generally works best except for those few outliers (think Harry Potter, Twilight, Spare…).<o:p></o:p></p>

on how to alleviate the fears surrounding sharing resources? I have a staff training planned for November so I would love some ideas.
