Subject: Verifying Order Information

I'm curious about the amount of pre-order verification librarians are 
doing. I'm going through a stack of Choice cards and it occurred to 
me that it would save some time if we don't bother checking the order 
information in a vendor database (I have a student do this.). If any of 
you are not doing much checking, have you run into problems? My 
initial inclination is not to bother checking if the paperback edition is 
noted on the card; otherwise, we do check to see if a paperback is 
available.

Thanks -
