The topic of exploring other options for accessing uncataloged paperbacks is still an ongoing process of discussion and investigation.
Janet and Jimmy have streamlined the process of customer suggestions into a database. They are still working with the database before they make it live.

Janet and Karen investigated the need for a foreign language paperback code and with the numbers presented, tech support feels that this is not something that should be created at this time. This could be fixed by cataloging paperbacks, which would need to be revisited once Cataloging has moved to the new service center.
