Is your library planning to inventory its physical collection? Are you setting up Innovative’s Inventory module for the first time? Attend this session and learn about the experiences of a mid-size academic library as it undertook its first-ever inventory in its fifty+ year existence. The presenters will discuss setting up and using the inventory module for Sierra/Millennium, including configuring an FTP server to ingest barcodes into the module, as well as the workflow they developed for scanning barcodes, generating inventory reports, and following up on missing items.
