The only way which seems to work for me is to use the bar-coded folder
method - I don't really care what issue is missing - I am not going to
replace it anyway. We charge for the missing magazine and that is the end of
the transaction.

Subject: Circulating Magazines
I was wondering how you go about circulating magazines. I have tried two
different
ways and neither is that great. Perhaps you can offer a new idea or improve
upon
these. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks.
WAY 1: Add temporary barcodes to the magazines, as needed.
POSITIVE: Each magazine is accounted for.
NEGATIVE: Many barcodes wasted and time wasted when checking out
since time must be taken to add record.
WAY 2: Have folders/envelopes with barcodes and circulate
various magazines using the 10-20 barcoded holders.
POSITIVE: Fewer barcodes used; little waste.
NEGATIVE: You don't know exactly what's out or what was lost.
(Granted, you probably won't replace the mag anyway)
I know you can also catalogue ALL magazines (at least in popular series),
but that,
again, uses up a lot of barcodes, which I'd rather not waste.
