Just a quick note for the record: as a matter of fact, the University of
Nevada, Reno Libraries were audited this past year.  The auditors showed
no interest at all in our check-in procedures (or lack thereof).

Thanks to all those who have responded to my query of last week.  I hope
to have a summary compiled for the list by the end of this week.
