DuPage 88 received this request as well.It's a nuisance, especially as our catalogue resides on a public website. I did a spot check of our databases -- although that information wasn't requested. I didn't receive any immediate hits, but admittedly, I didn't dig very deep. Rose JanuszLibrary Media Center DirectorDuPage High School District 88
