Multiple Copies of Books for Discussion Groups

Multiple copies are in demand for library-sponsored discussion groups, and libraries borrow from each other for this purpose via Interlibrary Loan.  The Fletcher Free borrows heavily and now offers the following list to help meet what is sometimes an ILL challenge.  Most of the listed books have been culled from donations and represent different editions in various quantity – quantities, however, that tend to increase with time.

As uncatalogued items, they cannot be found in PUBCAT, but libraries may borrow them on ILL, either by separate email, or in the usual manner by requesting a catalogued copy and specifying “multiple copies” in the Comments field and the number of copies wanted.  Even if we have no catalogued copy, you may address your PUBCAT request to us with multiples specified in the Comments field.

Single Copies:  Some titles below are singles but are expected to increase.  We also own uncatalogued singles of about 200 more titles not shown, which may be requested if you inquire first.  They exist in an informal, ever evolving, “side library,” maintained to supplement our catalog now and then.  Ask about availability, but please do take advantage of this idiosyncratic, haphazard, but useful, facility!
