The Mystery of Martin Luther King, Jr

As I muck about in our catalog today I realize that very few of our MLK books come up when I type "Martin Luther King" in...I noticed this in January but then just did a visual search of our shelves and shelf list to get all that our teachers and students wanted...as our downtime approaches this summer we need to understand why we have this problem. I suspect that it is not inaccurate cataloguing but more a function of the cataloguing software. We can work around it if we can take some time to walk through all the search types for all the fields. Recording what we learn in a manual for future users will be helpful.

Hi Winnifred:

This is the same message I left in the CCA Library Log book. I focused on books still checked out. I found alot of books on the shelves in our library. I also went room to room seeing if teachers or students had books in their room or on the shelves. I recieved alot of books from the teachers and students. I left an updated list in the back of the cca library log book. I also gave a copy to the teachers.
