  This was sent by an irate librarian. If your job involves finding something you would expect some organization, but doing what is best for one is not everyone. "An inventory hasn't been completed in this library in several years, so I am making it a priority. I've read the articles which say they are not necessary, but when you find as many mistakes in your catalog as I've found, I disagree. I don't think it matters when you do one, though year end or year beginning. Do what works best for you. I've been working on the catalog all year and sort of inventorying as I went along, but I'm excited about closing down checkouts for a period of time and using my 4 aides to help me complete the inventory.
