Library update

At the end of the day today, we had inventoried 61% of the library. That means we have that percentage of the inventory back on the shelves. So it is actually coming together. I'm getting real tired of using that barcode scanner. Over the years, the barcodes have been placed on the backs of the books in different locations. The one we use now and like the best is sideways, at the top back, next to the binding. It's easiest to inventory that way, you just have to tilt the book out of the shelf a little bit to scan it. Eventually most of the books will have that location, but it will take years. Right now all new books get barcoded that way (if the company follows directions when they send the books). We generally don't replace too many old barcodes.
