Deb,

Here is what I would do -

1.      How long should it take to manually inventory about 10,000
books? (It's just me-no aides!)

I would give it 3 -4 weeks.

2.      How do/did you mark shelflist cards while performing inventory
to identify missing books?

I used to stand up cards for missing titles or volumes. If a missing volume
I would mark next to the volume number  msg month/year


3.      How do you define "closed" during inventory? (No checkouts? No
students at all? Only students with teachers?)

Closed means closed -- period -- with doors locked. I have found that if you
are interrupted - it gets confusing...someone always touches the cards, or
you forget where you are, etc. Closed means no one comes in!

Allan
