We recently started this at the request of some faculty. We catalog the
books, keep them on a spare shelf in the library office, and label the
collection Professional Development. A couple are books we already had in
the collection, so we just left them there, but added a note that they are
in the PD collection. That way, they will come up on a key word search of
the catalog.. Also, since we check them out to faculty, they get automated
reminders about when they're due.

I have been asked to pull together books on pedagogy, DEI, etc. and create
a mini-library in our faculty lounge. I’m curious how others have
implemented this:
- Did you add the books to your library system and keep inventory?
- Did you set up a check-out process (cards & pockets) or simply leave
it to an honor system?
Any insights into how this worked (or didn’t) at your school is
appreciated!
