Target: Processing old multiple paperback copies

[Paula Bainter <pbainter@USD327.ORG>]

   Deep in the recesses of my office back room there are several shelves of
paperback books that teachers use in their classrooms for group reading
activities.  Most of them are classics and are old and a bit dog eared but
still serviceable. They are in classroom quantities of each title. They have
never been cataloged.  I would like to make checking them out easier but I
don't want to spend a lot of time on them.

  How do you handle them. Do you barcode and enter them into your computer
system? Do you abbreviate cataloging info or do them as you would other
books?  Do you use a sign out sheet? Other ideas?
