Re: TARGET: Circulation of books during renovation

[sandes <sandes@WILKEN-DSM.COM>]

Suggestions :

Be sure to Notify teachers now that they must make their selections and
store it initially in their rooms and stressing that anything not selected
WILL NOT be available during renovation.

Can you set up the circulation system somewheres else (the principal's
office :-)) and have this as sort of a minilibrary to continue
re-circulation of items that are out?

If that's not an option, then you might check the circulation reports that
you can generate with your system.

You might have to go into the files of the report themselves and check if
each is being stored as a ".txt" file.  If so, you're laughing!!!!  since
now you can word process them to include any method you might want to use.

For example, Ms Smith comes now and chooses 1000 books which are signed out
to her and stored in her classroom.

A report on Ms Smith's signouts is generated and you find it in
MsSmith.txt.  Now all you have to do is to open it in a regular word
processing document and you can edit, add columns, squares etc. that the
kids can use to signout items.

Of course, be sure to SAVE each edited report into a separate file so that
she can get more copies as required.
