You get: Victoria Holt: 160 records Agatha Christie: 569 records Danielle Steel: 222 records Obviously, multiple editions. Each record has a list of the holding libraries, giving you a place to fire off an ILL request. Sign up info at: http://www.lili.org/worldcatdemo.htm Come'on people--it's the world's largest and greatest bibliographic database, all provided by your tax $$$. It's useful for ILL and Reference. You'll be surprised how easy it is to use, and the immense amount of stuff in there. ******************************************** Ron Force rforce@uidaho.edu Dean of Library Services (208) 885-6534 University of Idaho Moscow 83844-2350 ********************************************

Hola! Stanley has become bilingual! We have one patron who has requested books in Spanish. Since we have absolutely no books in Spanish I need some help. Our customer likes Daielle Steele, Agatha Christie and Victoria Holt. I'd like to hear from any libraies having holdings that would appeal to this customer. Thanks in advance for your help.
