[LM_NET] GEN: student teacher/intern borrowing ( and retrieving overdues)

[Suzanne Ng <sng@SOMSD.K12.NJ.US>]

I issue borrowing privileges to student teachers,  social work interns, subs, etc. 
by creating a record for them when they want to borrow. I've had too many cases in 
the past where a student teacher borrows items for the classroom teacher, or for a 
unit , using the teachers record, and the teacher has no idea where the books are.  
Eventually the books show up, but sometimes not. ( 

 We started using Destiny in September 2007, and it is so easy to create borrower 
records on the fly. I created  several records for various student teachers , 
interns, etc. this year.    I included the homeroom of the student teacher, and the 
fact they were a student teacher, but no other info.   Now I have 3 items out, by 2 
different  student teacher/interns, and no way to retrieve the items.  someone from 
my HR department was able to provide me with an email address for one, but has no 
record of the other.    I think for September, I am going to ask them  to give me a 
full permanent street address/phone number, the colleges name, etc. So in the event 
I need to track them down, I  can.

 Do you think I'm being over the top?


 thanks!
