If an item says Available, but was not found in its location, Supervisors should follow the steps for the Missing Book Search before marking an item Missing:
1. Have at least 2 sets of very experienced eyes in the stacks looking for the book (at different intervals) - follow Missing Book form parameters
2. Mark as Missing immediately in FOLIO
3. Bob will run the Missing Book report once per month.
a. If it’s not on the shelf after one month, we will check again in the following month. All items from the past 30 days should be reviewed again.
b. Status will be changed from Missing to Lost. (approximately 60 days)
4. At the end of each semester, students can look through the list again. After the end of the academic year, the data will be forwarded to Acquisitions and/or Library Liaison to evaluate for replacement
