We do what Lisa does: automated checkout with date stamped for our reference and student awareness!

We do automated checkout but we stamp the date in the book so I can see when it was last circulated and how often.  This way I can see the history by looking in the book but we don't use cards.

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".
