[Koha] report for weeding

[Kohn, Karen]

The idea of creating a fake patron was so he could scan the books rather
than typing the titles.  I see we can make a list by scanning barcodes as
well, so we'll do that.  Thanks.

I don't see a report in the library that is limited to items on a
particular list.  Is there a simple way to do that.

Thanks!
