Oh wise ones:



This is my first year at a new library (middle school) WITHOUT
automation.  Since we are hoping to automate soon (next year?),

I feel it is important to do a good inventory.  However, I have never
done one using a shelflist, so I am relatively clueless here!



Basically, I have 3 questions:



1.      How long should it take to manually inventory about 10,000
books? (It's just me-no aides!)
2.      How do/did you mark shelflist cards while performing inventory
to identify missing books?
3.      How do you define "closed" during inventory? (No checkouts? No
students at all? Only students with teachers?)



I have checked the archives but am looking for a little more help than I
found there.





If you have any other tips for me, they would be much appreciated.
Please reply to me personally.



Thanks so much!

Deb
