'Casting Kit Borrowing and Use

The OWLS 'Casting Kit is intended for library use only by OWLS member library personnel and may not be circulated to the public.

The Library Services Manager will maintain a 'casting kit reservation calendar and online inventory for requesting and tracking equipment.

Check the 'casting kit calendar for availability and submit equipment request form.
The request will be confirmed or denied by the Library Services Manager via phone or email.

The borrowing library is responsible for picking up and returning equipment to the OWLS office.
When picking up the equipment, the Library Services Manager will supply a brief training session on how to use the equipment (if needed).
OWLS will supply a parts checklist, setup sheet and a set of batteries for testing the system.
When returning the equipment, the borrowing library will fill out a troubleshooting form and an acknowledgement that all parts of the system have been returned.
The Library Services Manager will verify that all parts have been returned and will check in equipment on inventory form.
OWLS will maintain circulation statistics for the 'casting kit equipment as evidence to support future use of this type of equipment.

Providing backup and/or additional batteries are the responsibility of the borrowing library.
