[LM_NET] Vent: Book Rooms

[Cheryl Youse <cyouse@GMAIL.COM>]

In the distant past, someone cataloged the books in the book room at my
current school into the library collection.  I have had NO control over them
whatsoever and having them cataloged in the collection artificially inflates
the media center numbers.  I will be deleting those books from the catalog
in my year end inventory.  Perhaps then we will get some funding because I
think that, without those book room books being counted, we fall short of
the SACS minimum of books per student.  Of course, new titles added to the
book room for the past 5 or so years have NOT also been added to the library
collection.  I know I have not added any in the time I have been responsible
for the media center.  It has been made clear that I have no input at all
into what is in the book room.
