Our system is similar, a small professional collection in one corner of the
library. They’re catalogued and circulated like any other materials. They
have a PRO in front of the call number.

Subject: [baisl] Re: Starting a faculty "library"
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!
