Hi folks,

this applies mostly to public libraries. It was brought to my attention 
today that at least one member library is adding their large print items 
to regular print bibs. Granted LP in front of the call number will alert 
most patrons to the difference, but it's waay better to pull a Spike Lee 
and 'Do the Right Thing' by bringing in an accurate bib record and 
attaching your copy to it. If you're having difficulty with this or any 
other cataloging problem, remember that I make house calls.

Regards,

John Clark
