Case Studies

12 OHPs.

12.1 Surprisingly OHPs seem to give us most trouble as people `borrow' them from classrooms for personal use in offices. We have tried to stop the practice to no avail. We have chained them to desks or to a trolley, but then they take the whole unit or cut the chain off! Short of bolting the whole rig to the floor, which is impractical, this will continue to be a problem. We have tried appealing to their better nature, this has taken the form of a note attached to each machine advising academic staff that the practice of borrowing these items inconveniences their colleges but it falls on deaf ears.

12.2 When budgets allow we will purchase loan machines for departments which would be located in the departmental office. It may prevent the loss of teaching equipment.
