Floating Bibs and Orphan Bar Codes

Abstract

This paper describes an inventory project completed at a small college during summer 2004, including the approach used, problems encountered, and benefits that resulted. It provides a step-by-step account of how the inventory was conducted using Innovative Interfaces’ Millennium software with a laptop and a laser scanner. The intent in providing this level of detail is to assist others who might be undertaking an inventory for the first time, in the hope that much of what applies to Millennium software will apply to other library software systems as well.
