Hi there –

I’m interested in knowing what you all think of shelf lists. 
Specifically, whether you keep an old-style print shelf list in the 
card catalog format, or rely on an automated library system shelf list 
function/print out, or some other electronic means.

Our card catalog is defunct and for a variety of reasons I prefer not 
to continue filing those little cards, even for shelf list purposes 
(and truthfully, it has not been done consistently over the past year 
anyway).  My gut feeling is that the shelf list function in our online 
system works well so why bother with the cards?  I look forward to 
your comments.

Thanks!
