Re: GEN: ?? Consideration files

[Carole Ashbridge <ashbridg@ALDUS.NORTHNET.ORG>]

I maintain my consider for order file on a MS Works database.  I read
journals and hightlight the items which I consider I am going to need.
Then my clerk, or usually I enter them on the database with all the
pertinent info: author, title, pub,ISBN,grade level, price,
recommending source and date(I indicate whether it is a starred review
also), purchasing source, date ordered, date received, etc.  I also
have a field for a call number so that I can sort by Dewey and find
areas of the collection I need to strengthen.  I can print an order
list, a new book list, etc using the same database.  It is also easy
to discard records for books which have been "hanging around" waiting
to be ordered.
If you have any questions, get back to me personally and I'll try to
help.
