Please, when purchasing books for your systems, take note whether the new purchase is part of a series and budget for the remaining books as they appear. Also budget to acquire the backlist.
I'm reading Alan Steele's Coyote books, but the library has no copies beyond the first two. Here I am midway through the lives of the colonists of an Earth-like planet 46 light years away with no prospect of finding out what the hell happens to them in the subsequent books (Coyote Frontier, Coyote Horizon, and Coyote Destiny).
Woe!

Posted by: Harold at February 21, 2010 08:26 PMThe Hawai'i library system is statewide; there are no copies of those books in any of its 50 or 60 branches. I don't think there's an inter-library loan arrangement with any other state.
