Issues in bilingualism and biculturalism : a Hong Kong case study / David C.S. Li. (OCLC #33820211)

This volume (and about 20 others) were due back to the library in 1999, but were just returned this week! They had long since been removed from the catalog (following our lost/missing books policy) so we are treating them as gifts to the library.

The branch where this volume was housed has recently done some aggressive weeding and other collection development, so we will make these volumes available to the selector, so she can choose whether we want to retain it.

Chiral catalyst immobilization and recycling / edited by D.E. De Vos, I.F.J. Vankelecom, P.A. Jacobs. (OCLC #43970726)

This book was recently returned to the library, having been overdue since 2006! Following our missing/lost books policy, we purged the records from the catalog long ago; we had also not replaced the title in the meantime. A lost book is usually quite easy to add back to the collection; we are reasonably sure that there is a good record for it in OCLC, and the piece is still labeled and barcoded, so can be quickly copy cataloged and returned to the shelf.
