How to do an library inventory using Destiny
Pre scanning tasks · Two reports you can run prior to scanning follow
o
Choose "Copy call number report" from the 'Library Materials' tab
and then select and run each report: Copies without call numbers
and Copies with different call numbers. You need to adjust
your copy records to include a call number if there are any listed.
You also need to review the list of copies with different call
numbers. There should be NO AV copies and book copies on the same
MARC record. You will have to delete the copy that is not the one
that the MARC indicates and find/create a new MARC and add the copy
you just delete.
· Another report that might be helpful to run before scanning follows: o Library materials> title and copy list > select title and put no limiters in the boxes to the right. The lost copies repot will give you everything that has been marked MISSING and LOST. Destiny makes no distinction between these 2. If it was previously marked lost, you will see to whom it was attached when you marked it lost. If it was previously marked missing, you will see only a date. Do not continue to carry thing lost for a long period of time when you do not have a fine pending. You will need to delete some copies and mark them for re-order.
o
· Get all Interlibrary loaned books back from patrons and returned to the school where they were borrowed. If the book is lost, make the appropriate restitution according to the ILL Responsibilities and Procedures Document
Ready to start scanning? · Do not remove the inventory you completed last year. It should remain. If you did not finalize last years inventory, do so now so that it will be moved to completed inventories. You should have only 1 inventory going and that will be for the whole collection

What does "copies that have been seen" mean?
§ Answer yes to:
· Now you may either scan copies into inventory using the scanner at the desk, using the o PHD Falcon or Panther. - use the wireless Destiny where there is NO UPLOAD if at all possible. If not select Destiny Remote on the Dolphin or Falcon and you will need to upload any scans recorded here. o Attach your 3800 desk scanner with a USB connection to a mobile laptop with a wireless connection. o Create a .txt file in notepad using a scanner · All items that are loaned out, out for repairs, and marked lost are assumed accounted for. The lost number will need to be reported on the annual report. Deleting those that have been lost a long time and likely never to be returned before reporting makes the number of lost you have to report smaller. Finished scanning?
