I used to do that, but our director did not like the blatent designation
"missing", so I was forced to use more circumspect means of irecording and
identifying what we could not readily locate.
This was, to me, a hassle. I appreciated the politics and diplomatic aspects
of what the director was saying, but from a pragmatic collections management
point of view, needed a quick and easy means of listing what was currently lost
or missing.
