Hi Lilah --

We do exactly as Evalyn describes below as well, and I agree with her
comments on the decision.  Our catalog records for these titles merely say
that the current issue can be found in the reading room.

Lilah -

We do not check in the two newspapers we get daily (and never have).  In
addition, we have stopped checking in a few selected titles that we keep
only temporarily - the New Yorker, Chronicle of higher education, London
review of books and a few others.

There's been no downside to it at all.  These are titles that our patrons
just go to look for - they don't look in the catalog to see recent receipts.
Items get to the shelves quicker, our patrons are happy, and we waste no
time checking in and un-checking in when we discard.

All,

Does everyone check in daily newspapers or is it common practice to not
do so?  I recall people talking on this list about not checking in any
periodicals at all, but I would rather hear from someone who does check
things in but has made a decision to not check in certain titles due to
the daily chore.

Thanks!

Lilah
