When searching by ISBN, Title, or State List Code (SLC), a summary view of district-wide data is provided per selected search results. The “Find A Book grid displays for each ISBN selected the respective inventory information by campus with real-time, status-specific counts (non-reconciled distribution statuses to individuals); reconciled worn counts; and eligibility counts.

“Find A Book” is the only Instructional Materials Management area that allows district-wide searches for accession numbers.
