[LM_NET] Classroom set signouts

["Chrusch, Melissa" <mchrusch@DALLASSD.COM>]

Hi Everyone,
Our Reading teacher dropped off a big box of multiple copy paperbacks that she 
wants added to the catalog so teachers can sign them out, and mentioned that two 
teachers ordered more classroom sets. I'm a part time Librarian (one week in the 
building then switch) with 6-7 classes a day and have a giant cart filled with my 
own books to catalog. We use LibraryPro and cataloging with that is not my most 
favorite thing in the world haha.

She really wants this done ASAP, I was out of the building 2 weeks, and was only 
back 4 days and am already getting the: *NUDGE NUDGE* ARE THEY DONE? emails haha. 
To her it's been three weeks though, so I do understand. 

I'm looking for a quick way to do teacher sign outs. Do I really have to catalog 
each copy? Should I number the books and only put a barcode on the first one and 
have it represent all the books. Should I  just put all the barcodes together on an 
excel type list and have the teachers get the paper scanned when they want a set. 
Old fashioned paper sign out isn't going to cut it as the Principal and Reader 
teacher both decided they want them in the system, which is no problem, but I want 
a way to get it done quickly so can get them circulating ASAP.

How do you handle class set sign outs in your building?

Thanks!
