Thanks for this site - I found it very interesting. Did you read the section on library cards? http://besser.tsoa.nyu.edu/impact/f01/Papers/Nemitz/dnpaper.htm After reading this I looked again at our own card and decided it left something to be desired.
- It isn't distinctive - I have had lots of patrons search through all their cards several times truing to find it. I can't even give them some clues to help them as I don't know which particular design they have.
- It doesn't have much information on it. Until I really looked at it, I didn't even realise that the phone number and website were on the back! Before I worked here I used to keep one of the library business cards with my library card so I could check opening times etc. Wouldn't it be better to have this information on the card itself?
- The pictures are lovely but they don't say 'Library"
Just some ideas to consider when it is time for a change.
He is going to bring it up at the Library Managers meeting. Watch this space.
