Start a library inventory

Starting a library inventory is the first step toward accounting for all copies in your collection.

To start an inventory

You can conduct either a full or partial inventory.

1. Select Back Office > Inventory.
2. Click Start New.
3. Enter information for the inventory:
   • Inventory Name: Enter a descriptive name for the inventory.
   • Call Numbers from and to: Enter starting and ending call number values to restrict the inventory to a subsection of your collection. For example, in a fiction collection, you could just inventory FIC DAA to FIC EZZ.
   • Circulation Types: Click Update to deselect any circulation types you want to exclude from the inventory.
   • Sublocation: Click Update to deselect any sublocations you want to exclude from the inventory.
   • Except for copies that have been seen on or after: To exclude copies from the inventory that have been scanned after a recent date, enter the date here.
4. Click OK.

You are now ready to start scanning copy barcode labels to make copies accounted for.
