Hello,

I was wondering how other public libraries deal with paperback 
collections.

Currrently our paperbacks are all donations and have brief catalog 
records.We are considering changing our collection of 
paperbacks...perhaps using only donations and not cataloging them at 
all, or purchasing paperbacks and have our collection be comprised of 
selected purchases and selected donations.

Thanks for any and all ideas.
