GEN: Overdue books

["Catharine D. Wolf" <hwolf@FRONTIERNET.NET>]

The list was so long this week, that I stopped to figure percentages.

17% of books currently in circulation are now overdue.

In a high school of 700 students, we send lists sorted by grade level to =
the classrooms.  The lists show only the names of the students, the due =
dates, and the barcodes of the books.  If a student wants titles, he =
comes and asks.

Students won't make reservations.  They *know* there's a strong chance =
they won't get the book.

This is my first year in the building and I am aware I need to build a =
degree of confidence in the students.

Suggestions?
