On the “new fiction” shelves of our library I noticed many red stickers on the book spines that said “B&T;”. Intrigued, I looked closer and found one book that had a sticker with a full name “Baker & Taylor Leasing“. Ahhh, a clever idea I had not noticed at the other libraries I used to frequent. A library can lease popular titles when everyone wants to read them and not have to buy so many copies. I imagine that with advanced notice, leasing can be planned into a library budget quite effectively. As I was talking about it with my husband we discussed how this would be perfect for computer titles since those often become obsolete as quickly as the processors and software they are written for. When a software package or tool is new and popular, many people would like to learn about it at the same time, and as soon as possible, but later on only one copy is really necessary. So it’s not a surprise to find that Baker & Taylor also provides a “Computer Book Leasing System.”
