Funny you just described my normal working day, which is even more
depressing
when I tell you I look after postgraduate medical/biology/pharmacy and
nursing students!

On a regular basis I have conversations like.
Me "this book is on a weekly loan"
Student "when is it due back then?"

Or
Student "I'm looking for the book I was using last week"
Me "what was it called?"
Student "I cannot remember, it was a large green book"
