Inventory

S

If you add an item to your collection at any time, during or outside an

inventory, Cataloging automatically assigns an inventory status of Marked.

After inventory

Before finalizing an inventory, we recommend that you print an Inventory List by

Call Number for the Unmarked items in your collection (see page 558). If you

missed a section or shelf or discover a cart full of items that were not reshelved,

they're still Unmarked. Go back and enter those items into inventory before you

finalize it.
When you finalize your inventory, Inventory changes the inventory and copy

statuses of all Unmarked items to Missing. Inventory also notes the year in which

the item is identified as Missing. You can print a list of these items by generating

an Inventory List by Title for just Missing items (see page 559). This report shows

you which items can no longer be accounted for in your collection.
If you discover that you missed some items or an entire section of your library

after finalizing your inventory, don't worry. Even after you finalize, you can

reopen your last inventory, which resets the Missing items from your last

inventory to Unmarked. If you don't discover your error immediately, you can

always reset the Missing items from a specific year or even reset all the Missing

items in your collection. You can then scan the missed items into Inventory and

finalize your inventory again. For more detailed information about resetting

Missing items, see Resetting Missing copies" on page 231.

Note:

When you reopen your last inventory or reset Missing items from a specific

year, Inventory only resets the specified Missing items to Unmarked. It

does not reset items identified as Missing in other years. None of these

options will touch items that have already been Marked.
