[Web4lib] Selling USB Drives to the public

[HAZEL Margaret E]

We started researching vending machines that could handle USBs, floppies, pens, etc., but did not find a ready-made model.  We would have had to buy a machine and stock it ourselves, and so research stopped.

But we did like the idea of selling USB drives.  

We are still selling floppies.

Subject: [Web4lib] Selling USB Drives to the public

For many years public libraries have been selling floppy disks to members of the public in support of their use of library internet / word processing computers.

Would appreciate the public library perspective on the following question:


Are you now selling USB drives?

If yes, 
	What size, format, brand is working for you?
	
Words of advice, warnings, comments also appreciated.
	
Have you stopped selling floppies?


I will summarize to the list any off-list replies I get.


(One small aside - we got our Facebook application approved late last week, the local newspaper ran a story about it on Saturday.   Just seems to be a current topic the media cannot resist)


Thanks
Peter
