Hi everyone, I've got a question about SAT Flash cards. I have two boxes of 1,000 cards for vocabulary from SAT. I would like to make them available for our patrons but I'm stuck on how to catalog them. Could anyone give me a few suggestion? Does any library in the system have this item and how did they catalog them. Thanks in advance for any help.
