Thanks for your response.  Your approach sounds similar to what we do now.  Our faculty are real good about getting items back quickly.  We don't have many of them taking advantage of this option.

We do not circulate our serials.  We do however, make occasional exceptions for faculty and temporarily checkout an item upon special request on an overnight basis only.

We have a special container with a temporary barcode.  We give all the checkout and item details to the serials technician so they can monitor the return.

Since many libraries no longer bind their serials, I was wondering how many of you allow checkout of serials, including scholarly journals as well as other trade or popular titles you receive.
We are considering checking out serials.  What advice do you have for our library?
We are a small liberal arts college with about 250 subscriptions. Currently they get very little usage.
