Rick,

How do you distinguish between titles you check in and those you don't
when you are sorting the incoming mail?

FWIW, that's one situation that we treat as an exception here at U
Nevada Reno.  While we have eliminated routine check-in of most
periodicals, we do continue to check in very expensive titles and those
few high-use, graphics-intensive titles that we intend to bind.
