[LM_NET] ADM: How to you find books

[Kay Goss <goss.kay@GMAIL.COM>]

Dear Great and Wise Ones:

I am hoping that someone has a easier/quicker way to locate books.
I am working on a proposed order for books for next school year.
I need some non-fiction fun books on pets, cars, animals, etc. that would be
okay for 6-12th grade.
I have looked through catalogs. I use collection development on Titlewave.
But both take so much time.
And I find that the catalogs tend to have 24-32 page books. I think books at
this level need to be longer.

Does anyone have an easier method to locate a specific need for the
collection?

Thanks so much. I love you guys.
