@tracy that looks like quite the haul. I’ll be interested in your notes on Vivek Chibber’s Class Matrix.

@tracydurnell quite the haul indeed! Are your library hauls typically from previously placed holds or just time surfing the shelves?

@chrisheck all holds! I request in batches so I can make one library run every couple weeks – I also keep holds on books with long waits, and pause them until I get to the #1 position, then unpause what I want along with a batch of new requests. After this pickup I still have 24 holds paused.

@tracydurnell ah! The pause technique. That’s the missing ingredient that I need to add to my repertoire. Thanks for sharing! And, happy reading!

@nsmsn no, Harvard University Press, but I agree it has a Verso look to it!
