Dates: Nov 3 - Dec 2, 2011

Description: Collection inventories are vital to collection
management and security. You need to know what is in your collection
to be able to manage it well. This means regular inventories must
occur. But knowing you must do them and actually having the time and
manpower to complete an inventory are two different things.
Collection Inventories discusses everything you ever wanted to know
about collection inventories. From how to set one up to how to
conduct an inventory. Other topics include what to look for during
an inventory and how to reconcile the information.

Logistics: Participants in Collection Inventories work through
sections on their own. Instructor Peggy Schaller is available for
scheduled email support. Materials and resources include online
literature, slide lectures and dialog between students and online
chats led by the instructor. The course is limited to 20
participants.

Collection Inventories runs four weeks. To reserve a spot in the
