Good day to you Jenny,
 
We use Mp3 players for walking tours on parts of our site not physically connected to the interpretive center. Visitors place their license or a credit card in a security [the kind with the patterned lining available at office supply depts] envelope, seal it and sign across the sealed flap. We put the sealed envelope in our cash drawer. So far, so good.
They can also download the tour from our Facebook page or website.
A very few decline the terms...less than 5 since we began the program.
 
Good luck,
Karen

Subject: [MUSEUM-L] Mp3 Players in Museum Galleries for patron use

Hello-

I am formulating an exhibition which will feature local Vinyl Records made and produced by local musicians and bands in and round Bloomington, Indiana. Part of the exhibition is using Mp3 Players for patrons to sample some of the music show in the vinyl.  I have seen and used this technique in other galleries.  Are there any suggession about how to secure the players to avoid theft or any other thoughts about this? 

Thank you!
