I did a complete inventory last year at the end of the year, but this year
I am only counting the number of books in each section.  My principal
doesn't care if I give her a complete list of the books; in fact, if we had
some sort of disaster, I doubt if the insurance company would want a
complete list of titles--just a number. I feel doing it every other year
since I am a solo librarian works best.  Also, since I am in a middle
school I am sure that I know which popular books are missing from filling
requests for the system.
