Hi Carol, and others,
I need to run a custom search, and I'm afraid I don't find it to be 
intuitive at ALL.  Our Collection developers want to know which books 
we've ordered on ILL that we also own as e-books.  I told my boss the 
only way I could weed those out are if the patron actually TOLD me we 
own it electronically, but they want it in hard copy (which we do 
borrow.  Who wants to read 300 pages online???).
Is there a way to do a search that includes the notes fields?

Appreciate any life-ring tossed this way...
