Dear LM -Gang

Mail is running 90 to one against having the item sit in a box waiting
for me to catalog it.  BUT we use batch processing because we are the
central processing for the whole campus.  I have separate bar codes for
each of 5 locations.  When I export the information to type up the cards
and labels I have to specify by bar code what numbers i want.  If I am
cataloging in straight runs of accession numbers my life is much easier
than if I have to specify a number of different locations to MOLLI.

We have an online catalog but we are not yet up and running for
circulation except in the lower school.

Is there no sympathy for me???

I'm feeling defensive!  yiiikes <g>
