[CASL-L] Circulation question

[Elaine Shapiro]

Does anyone out there do both manual and automated checkout?  In other words, do students sign their name on a book card, as well as having the book signed out electronically?  I work in an elementary school, and this was the custom before I took the job.  But it takes a lot of time to file and then re-card the books.  I'm wondering if there is a good reason to maintain both systems.  I do like that I can pick up a book, glance at the card, and see how many students have taken it out.  Given our slow computers, this can be faster than running "item history".
