A friend on friendfeed (no, it's not dead, and yes there's an active librarian community there) who works in a public library complains thusly: > I have decided that it's a goal of mine that for all series in the > fiction collection that circulate reasonably well, I want us to have > the full series. Right now, this is a cumbersome and annoying task. I > have to identify the series (because not all of them are cataloged as > such), see what we have, check the circulation, then check NoveList > and compare the lists and look for gaps. This strikes me as an interesting problem, but one that I can't devote any time to now. And there's the related question of why this is as difficult as it seems to be.
