- I would never presume to read Rusty's mind (I leave that to his wife and
- will send him a personal message making snide remarks), but I think that
- when he asked about out-of-hand renewals, he could also have been refer-
- ring (and, if he wasn't, I am, in my great Marcel Proust-imitation run-on
- sentence) to taking an inventory along and checking off the books against the
- inventory rather than bringing the books back to the library and then carrying
- them back again. As a result, the transaction at the checkout terminal
- would be out-of-hand, but the books would have been seen by a library
- staffer, thereby avoiding the problem you referred to.

- I am continually amazed by what staff-intensive things BYU can do. I know
- several people who did their obligatory missionary work...is working in the
- library an alternative option? (Please, no offense intended...I just asked
- one of my Mormon friends if that would be and she said no, but she is one of
- the funniest people I have EVER met in my life, so perhaps I shouldn't
- trust her judgement!! :^)
