One more comment on slide circulation. Posting to both lists, because
parts of this thread seemed to pop up on one or the other. Kathy Heuer's
barcoding solution is, to my mind, of course, the best scenario.
For those of us in the interim, who are still mucking around with manual
procedures, you might like to set something up in a spreadsheet. I use
MSExcell. I use a page for each month, and each transaction is a row.
I generally enter only the accession number, or as much more info as I
choose :-) and use the COUNTA formula to add up the total for each
transaction. I have columns that add up any info I need (by user status,
inhouse use, etc.), so that at the end of the month all the numbers I need
to submit to my supervisor are nicely lined up in the top row. I use one
page to continually add up the year-so-far totals.
I also use Excell to tally daily work stats (cataloguing, labels, slide
mounting, etc.) for myself and assistants. If anyone is interested in more
info, please let me know.
