Re: shelf list

In response to Denise on the pros and cons of keeping a shelf list:

It all depends on the software you are using and the configuation of
yourcatalog!  I have been in two school libraries where the online catalo=

was sufficient for our shelf list needs.  Both programs would print out a=

complete a list of information on each title as we wanted, and it was ver=

simple to print out a shelf list whenever we wanted one.  In both schools=

we pitched our shelf list with great confidence.  Currently I am at a
public library which has a catalog of all the libraries within our system=

As a result, it is more bother than it is worth to have the system print
out a shelf list when we want one, so we still have our shelf list
drawers...
