Hi everyone, I am new to posting to Hasafran and not sure how this works. I am a MLIS graduate student and Library Coordinator for the Tucson Association of Jewish Libraries. We are in the midst of creating a branched library system in the city and currently I am cataloging thousands of books. We are using ResourceMate and when imputing items, I have it searching through Library of Congress, Ohiolink Central Catalog, ACCESS Pennsylvania Database, Toronto Public library, and Amazon. Every so often I come across items that I cannot find anywhere in the databases and thus do not enter them into our own system and I set them aside. Is this not the right thing to do? Is there a way I should be handling items that I cannot find on major databases? I have not learned how to create my own but is this what I should be doing? What is it you all do in this situation if you have met it?
Thank you for the response! Mirra Neiman Library Coordinator Tucson Association of Jewish Libraries
