Inventory (Library Manager)
|
For training resources
|
The inventory process lets you compare title and copy records in the Library Manager database with the actual items in your collection. Comparing items helps you ensure the accuracy of your records.
You can also report on the current value of your collection, and make better decisions about which materials to purchase in the future.
|
Important: Since you can have multiple inventories open at the same time, give each inventory a unique name and make sure the correct one is selected. |
To perform an inventory:
- Start the inventory.
- Scan and upload all the copy barcode labels you can find.
- Run an In-Progress Inventory report to determine which copies are in the inventory, accounted for or unaccounted for.
- When you have scanned all available copies, finalize the inventory.
