Subject: [SEO-Members] Headphone/Earphone Usage and Sanitation Policies

 

 

Hello everyone,

I am researching operational practices for public computer workstations and
media areas.

Could you please share how your library manages headphones and earphones?
Specifically, I am interested in:

*	Provision: Do you provide headphones, or must patrons bring their
own?
*	Distribution: Are they handed out at desks or kept at stations?
*	Sanitation: What is your cleaning protocol between individual patron
uses?
*	Disposables: Do you utilize single-use earbud covers or sanitizing
wipes?
*	Budgeting: Do you sell cheap earbuds to patrons as an alternative?

Your insights will greatly help us shape our own hardware and health
policies. Thank you for your time and assistance.

Sincerely,

 

Kristina McKown- Circulation Services Specialist
