Something to remember is that not all Library checkout systems have modules that are compatible with the flexibility needs of a media checkout service. Supposedly Voyager (which is what Yale uses) has a new module that we can plug into the test environment this summer for me to play with, but I'm not holding my breath on how well it will work, given how much everyone here hates Voyager as it exists (much less an additional module).

Disclosure: Our department is a subsidiary of the University Library system, so it was a lot easier to negotiate than others might experience.
