<p class="MsoNormal">This is a pretty simple question – but I’m interested in how folks deal with it:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">How do you let non-computer savvy folks who like to just drop in and browse
<u>know</u> about brand new titles that have come out? Most of the time the best sellers get whisked away to fill a long hold list and they never get a chance to see it.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We have an odd system now where we keep the book on display for a week before we fill holds – but it seems like a shame to make folks wait. All I can think to do is make a color copy of each book cover and put it on display in place of
the book – but this seems like it would take a lot of ink.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Does someone at your library make a flyer each week showing a list of the new books with smaller cover art?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Any other ideas? <o:p></o:p></p>
