We've been discussing how to catalog our Nooks and Nook books so that they are accurately reflected as being in or out and so that students can find the Nook book that they are looking for. We've decided to catalog the Nook as a book rather than a piece of equipment and list all the Nook books purchased in the 505 field, similar to an anthology. This way, a student searching the catalog for a title that is available on our Nook will turn up the Nook, and we'll be able to see if it is checked out or not. The downside is that our circulation by title will be skewed, but this is the most elegant solution we've come up with. ~Amy
 * Cataloguing the Nooks and Nook Books:**

We had a Nook go into 'heavy sleep' mode on its first outing with a student. The screensaver showed and no amount of button pushing would wake it up. I called the help line (1-800-the-book) and spoke with several foreign service representatives for some time. Ultimately, the Nook had to be shipped back and they sent me a new/refurbished unit. Terese mentioned to me that I should have gotten in touch with Beth Austin, our local Barnes & Noble rep. That's what I'll do in the future. In fact, I've currently got two more Nooks in a similar state and have been in contact with Beth. They will likely be replaced as well. **I strongly recommend spending the extra $30-40 on the protection plan/warranty!** ~Amy
