Do you use special reports for inventory? Can you share examples with the task force?
#Response DateOther - please explain
1.10/30/2007 7:29:00 PMCreate lists via the create list module.
2.10/30/2007 8:39:00 PMWe will use the shelf list created by the EIN, but we mainly use the number of times circulated.
3.10/31/2007 12:42:00 PMwe check title how many times it has been charged out, last date charged out, condition of item, if it is shelf-sitter.
4.10/31/2007 3:18:00 PMWe still maintain a card shelf list--because the eiNetwork had no easy mechinism to do inventory.
5.10/31/2007 3:49:00 PMI would really like to get more proficient in these reports that I need.
6.10/31/2007 5:20:00 PMSwissvale is a small library. If all 22,000 items were here at once they wouldn't fit. We are constantly weeding the collection. We will just take several shelves at a time and check the items to see how often they circulate and when the last circulation was. Unless there's a good reason, an item that has not circulated in two years is withdrawn. We irregularly check for lost books, etc., but we pick up most errors while regularly shelving, and everything gets evaluated at least once a year.
7.10/31/2007 6:27:00 PMWe keep one shelflist card for each item.
8.11/5/2007 2:46:00 PMWe also run a report of items that have not circulated within the last 5 years.
