Roll out a charged up Wireless Laptop with a Barcode Scanner. Installed with AnzioWin and with active Wireless Network Connection
Modify the ANZIOWin program with ALT-M and create a Key assigned MACRO
Here is an example of the Key Assignment : Type in: Define {hit the F10 key}ixHPD Inventory 4/10/08{hit Ctrl-P then the Enter Key}qm Then hit the Enter Key to save the new Key Assignment
Two Person Team Person # 1 Makes Note of the First 1 st Call # where he begins Pulls a book from the shelf Places a File Folder (or other marker) in its place Gives the material a quick evaluation looking for obvious damage Presents the Barcode for to be scanned
Barcode is scanned
Two Person Team Person # 2 Confirms the identity of the material matching with the barcode that it scanned. Any discrepancy can be placed on the cart for review later Runs the MACRO by pressing F10 Gives a verbal cue that the process is complete “OK”
Two Person Team Person # 1 Replaces the material on the Left side of the marker File Folder Pulls the next item Repeats the steps Makes note of the last Call# that is scanned and inventoried
The rest of this process is completed with the Create Lists and Statistics Functions in Millennium The Lists and Statistics should be done ASAP after the Team returns to prevent changes due to current circulation of materials
Create a List of the Call Number range that was Inventoried It should include the Location & Call #s that were “expected” to be on the shelf in this range
Sort this List in this order:
A complete print out of this List can be created and send to a printer or Here are some recommended fields & settings :
Checked Out Upon examination this List can be interpreted Here are some examples : Inventoried This list can be marked and confirmed The records can be marked either one-at-a-time or with Global Update as Missing
Missing Upon examination this List can be interpreted Here are some examples : Inventoried
Other Lists that are Sub-sets of this can be created – Here is a Subset that has the Items that do not have the “HPD Inventory Test 4/10/08” note
Then a Statistical Query can be Run on the Items that do not have the “HPD Inventory Test 4/10/08” note
The results of the Statistical Query can be examined And exported to MS-Excel
Once in MS-Excel various reports and statistics can be better formatted
