1. THANKS!!!
Thanks to Pat Steele, Gwen Pershing and her screen design committee, and to the Automation Office for acting so swiftly to change the IUCat screen to indicate that faculty overdues can be recalled. That really helps! Now patrons are much less likely to assume that it's hopeless, and many of them will get the books that they need. Bravo!
--Nancy Cridland
