thewayneI just looked for A Number of Things.
We actually have a book of that title.
I received a transfer request to send it to main campus, which meant our catalog sowed it as being available, couldn't find it. My associate couldn't find it, and another book requested by the same person also couldn't be found.
So I contacted my counterpart at main campus and told her that the two books could not be found, then we went in to our catalog and marked the two books as missing.
Then I processed the four massive courier bags that came in last week while I was "working from home".
And there I found A Number of Things and the other book.
The weird thing is that every single book in this pile, over a dozen books: I scan them in and every last one comes back Item Not On Loan. WTF? If they're coming back from main campus, clearly they were on loan!
