Re: Gen: Libraries=Bookstores?

Just a comment on the end of Charlotte's post:  OPACs might have this
feature already...  maybe there is a field that could be used for
the book that could show that it is in an exhibit. It might be part
of the checkout feature. If you could 'check out' the book to the
exhibit, it would cut down on all those nickels. <grin>.
