We are in the process of acquiring Past Perfect to manage our collection, but 
are also trying to figure out a better way to organize and keep track of our 
library. We allow members to check out books from our library, this is 
currently tracked by paper and pen in a binder, and we fear that many of 
books have not returned. Past Perfect seems like it will be a good way for us 
to catalog what is in our library, but will it be able to keep track of checking 
books in and out?

Looking at the Past Perfect website there is mention of loan in and loan out 
capabilities, but it seems to be more oriented toward collection pieces than 
library books. Does anyone else have experience with this issue? We are 
hoping to have avoid having multiple programs and systems...
