For everyone's media vs. digital collection.
I am needing some feed back on everyone's media collections now and going forward.
What are your thoughts about physical media going digital?
How is your library transitioning for this?
Are you keeping any of your physical CD and DVD collections?
Are you keeping both physical and digital?
How are your patrons feeling about media going digital?
Thanks ,

I just wanted to start a conversation to find out what processes libraries are following for inventory these days. Are physical inventories a thing of the past? Do they take too much time for the number of issues discovered that way?
There are probably a few books on our shelves that no longer have records for one reason or another, but is it worth months or staff time to find a few items?
I've been toying with the idea of creating more of a digital inventory process to look for outliers to fix within a certain collection (got the idea from Melissa's presentation at PUGG day, thanks!). I thought about using create list to run comprehensive lists for either Item Type or Location Code.
Looking for thoughts on these ideas, or information sharing on inventory processes at your library. Thanks!
