I'm trying to find hymns from the UMC “The Faith We Sing” and “Worship & Song” hymnals to add to our services. They either don't show up at all or show up for no reason.  I'd like to find out what the “reason” was that they popped up so I can re-find them. Please help!  Is it because these books don't have a Subject list in the back? and therefore you haven’t entered them into your system?   Is anyone working on that?  Do you need help?  (I used to be a library cataloger.)  Example:  today's Nov. email about songs for Thanksgiving does not include TFWS #2036 “Give Thanks”.  That could have been found (maybe?) with a search of “Thanks”?  Sorry, I haven't tried that before I'm typing this but I'm at my wits' end searching here.

You should be able to find these hymnals with a search. We have “Worship and Song” without the ampersand. The subjects from the back of the books have been entered, so “Give Thanks” from The Faith We Sing should be on the list that was linked in the newsletter (the subject is “Praise and Thanksgiving”) but there are 4,123 hymns on the list. It would be easier to just search “Give Thanks.”
