摘要：The University of Memphis is a public
university in an urban setting in the United
States. The University Libraries use Innovative
Interfaces, Inc.’s Sierra Integrated Library
System (ILS). Using Sierra, a comprehensive
inventory was conducted in one of the
university’s branch libraries, the Music
Library. The Music Library houses reference
materials (2,803); non-circulating scores
(6,189); circulating scores of different sizes—
standard (19,503), oversize (307), and
miniature (2,115); desk items such as CDs and
DVDs (10,263); and standard circulating
monographic items (14,357) in a collection
totaling around 56,000 items. The School of
Music at the University of Memphis has
roughly 400 undergraduate students, 100
graduate students, and 45 faculty members
who comprise the main patron base of the
Music Library. The Music Library nonetheless
assists a variety of patrons, including
undergraduate students, graduate students,
faculty, and staff from all university programs,
as well as community members who are not affiliated with the university. The personnel
involved in this project included two faculty
librarians, two full-time staff members, and
one graduate assistant. It had been several
years since the collection had been partially
inventoried and the status of the physical
collection was increasingly disordered.
Although this workflow represents an
example from a music library, the steps are
applicable to most academic library settings
because the branch includes a variety of item
locations, types, and statuses.
