Things I am learning:

• When you import a record in LibraryWorld, clicking on it automatically adds it to your library, even if it isn’t the right book. Which may be hard to tell since the record that shows up is just the title, no other identifying information, like author name. ISBN lookup is not that great and title and author search may have multiple entries.
• Getting the record automatically loads the book into the OPAC but you have to go back and enter the number of copies for it to show up that there are any holdings.
• You cannot search by title to check out.
• You must use a bar code to access a patron record. First name does not work.

There are also some things I am not particularly interested in for the library at this time:

Serials- I am not worrying about these yet and I don't forsee this library ever owning more than 5 serials which could all be kept track of by hand- also, since I cannot do my own budgeting anyway.

Holds- I am not looking for this level of sophistication yet. Plus, I am not sure anyone except for possibly the teachers, would care.

Processing Acquisitions- We get so few new acquisitions (hopefully that will be changing0 and our ordering would not be through the ILS. Plus, I am not sure what this is and how it works.

Self-Check Out and Telephone Notification - Both way too sophisticated for my libraries needs.
