<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Hi,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"> I was wondering what best practices are for the following scenario: a youth services librarian is preparing for a program and needs to put aside 10 books about cats. They don’t
want the books to appear on a pullist while they have them. We don’t want them to check the books out because it would generate a false circulation statistic. We advise them to place a holds on the books they need, but is there a better way to take these books
out of circulation without generating a false statistic?<br>
<br>
Thank you,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
