Equipment can be circulating or for use in DML only. Both types get checked out to a patron. Circulating equipment is identified by call number beginning with EQP. Equipment for use in DML only is identified by call number beginning with DML.
The first time a new kind of equipment is purchased, DML personnel will notify and supply BMS personal with equipment information (shared spreadsheet) so that a record can be created in Aleph.
