We make 11-15 copies of each lesson and keep them in tape
drawers here in the LRC.  Students sign in, ask for the appropriate
tape, and listen to it here in our audiolab.  Once they have listened
to the tape, if they wish to have a copy to take home, we charge
them $1.00 and make them wait while we make a copy on our high
speed duplicator.

The only times, other than these few, that we actually allow tapes
to go out of our resource center is when we have non-traditional
students who work and live off-campus. These students are
required to call ahead if they want tapes, and we will make up to
four or five tapes at a time for them to pick up.  Again, we charge
$1 a tape to cover the cost of the tape.  If they bring those tapes
back, we will erase them and copy the next four lessons onto them
without charge.

It's a cumbersome system, but it seems to work.  We used to
make tapes for each student on a rotating basis  (we'd make the
tape, the student would pick it up, the student would bring it back,
we'd erase and recopy the next lesson, etc.), but it got way out of
hand, so now the students are expected to do their work here.
