To find out if a specific inventory device is available for your library you can do a title search in Millennium for “Inventory Device”.

Once you have identified which type of inventory device you would like and that the device is available to be shipped, you can then go to the following webpage on the OPAL website and fill out the “Request an Inventory Device” form:

http://staff.opal-libraries.org/forms/request-an-inventory-device.php

Please indicate in the “Notes” field on the form which device you are requesting.

This form also includes helpful links for additional inventory details and the documentation related to the inventory procedures & software.

Its that time of year again and many of you are gearing up for inventory projects.

Just a reminder, when you are scanning items, make sure each batch of barcodes falls within the same item location range. Otherwise, the system is unable to generate a report, and your scanning efforts will have been in vain. Examples where you may run into this issue include New Books shelves and Oversize.

Contact OPALHelp if you need to borrow a barcode scanner.
