We have 2 of the 3 Max Finder Mystery Collected Casebooks (1 and 3). I found this out after I read a review of the first one here: http://www.schoollibraryjournal.com/blog/540000654/post/1810053181.html?nid=4691
This is a good thing. It means I'm a little ahead of the curve. My rant for the day? Both books are listed in the same record in our catalog. This may sound trivial (and really obscure if one isn't a library employee), but it means someone looking for V.3 is going to see a record for V.1, since that's the cover picture on the record. The other issue is if someone tries to put a hold on one title (i.e., an electronic request for staff to pull the book off the shelf and send it to another library), they might get the wrong one. This actually happened to me recently, when I was trying to get another library's copy of Harold and the Purple Crayon for a program. I got some book based off the Harold TV show instead.
Hopefully my ally in the technical services department will be able to get this fixed with our co-op.
