Jason, >From the standpoint of locating the books on the shelves Pull List 3 is the most practical. With the addition of the patron name along with the barcode one could even cut the list apart and place the information in the book when retrieved.
Pull List 1 is easy to read but would be more useful if the columns could be changed and also printed in different formats without running an additional report. List two is good in that the staff can add or delete columns - but is very difficult to use when actually pulling books off of the shelves. Unless one had the ability to print the information in various configurations directly from the pull list screen it is very difficult to use in retrieving books.

Being able to add and remove columns is also a huge advantage in pull_list2. Thanks, -- Jeremy Buhler Trainer/Help Desk Specialist Sitka Evergreen Implementation [email protected]
