A member of our accounting department will
be in Boston
the morning of October 23, 2009. He has conducted random audits in our storage
areas for a couple of years now (as a check and balance between inventories
conducted by registration) and it has become clear that our workflow for
recording location changes manually and then entering them into TMS is not
keeping pace with our growth. His interest in our long standing desire to
improve efficiency and accuracy will be key to gaining institutional support for
barcoding the collection.
I would love for him to see a working
setup for tracking inventory via the TMS barcode manager while he is in Boston, so he can add strength
to our advocacy for this overdue improvement. If you are in a position to help
on such short notice, please contact me off list.
Many thanks,
Frances
