Re: [LM_NET] Help finding a book

[Toni Koontz <akoontz@CDEDUCATION.ORG>]

One of the things I've done when a teacher says they have used something 
from my collection, and I can't find it right away, is to do a patron 
inquiry in my  circulation. I type in their name, and do an inquiry.  Then I 
check their Circ Log.  This shows whether they ever checked out  the item. 
It is amazing, when I go back and say I have no record of them checking out 
what they are asking about.  They usually remember they got it from the 
public library....OR I will find out it looks nothing like what they had 
described but when I get it to them they say - That's it!!  Hope this helps.
