[LM_NET] Getting them back

[Gayle Hodur <ghodur@REDSHIFT.COM>]

In the ongoing quest to retrieve my wandering books I want to ask if you
have any tried and true methods for getting back books that are vastly
overdue.

I speak to the student each week at checkout and print a bill or reminder
slip for them and still I get no action. I'm always nice about it. Maybe I
should be meaner, but I know for a fact that most of my students won't go
to the public library because they owe books over there and are afraid of
the staff. I just let them know how important that book is to our
collection.

Am I doing it wrong, or is it like that all over?
