[LIS-Forum] stock verification

Dear friend, 
   We have around  42,000 plus books and we follow the following steps which seems to be quite efficient.   Most of the collection is bar coded. 
  We make 3 groups of 3 persons each. To speed up the process each group starts scanning the barcodes at the same time. 
  We have 3 laser scanners.
   The  acc. No. of books without the bar codes are entered manually into the system. You can use the extension wires to take the systems and scanners near the shelf itself to save time.
    All the entries from all three systems are compiled in a single system for the physical presence of the books  in the library and submitted to your library management software (if you have that) stock verification module for updating in your system.
   Report submitted to the management or authorities concerned.
  You can hire or borrow more scanners if you want to speed up and have more groups.
   
  The top gun with memory which is available for stock checking costs around Rs.30,000, but only one person can work at a given time ( that is if you have only one gadget). This takes more time.  Probably you can hire more no.s if available and if you want to use this.
   
  Regards,
  Gayathri Sen
