How to perform Library Audit?

 There are two methods for managing library audit

1) Audit Without Location Group
2) Audit by Location Group

However, School Librarians can adopt ONE method only for managing library audit to suit their operation.

Followings are the concepts applied for both methods as mentioned.

1) Audit without location group

• Audit shall be carried out for the entire library (all locations) for every audit session opened. In other words, audit by selected locations are not allowed.
• Audit shall be closed by entire library (all locations) for every session opened. In other words, audit closed by selected locations are not allowed.
• Only one session can be opened for a calendar month.

2) Audit by location group

• This method is suitable for schools that manage their library by sections or sub libraries eg staff library, student library, red spot, etc.  Such groupings shall be defined as Location Groups in the system  so that library audit can be carried out by selected sections or sub libraries
• Every location created must be assigned to a Location group. Locations created without assigning to any Location Group shall never be audited in any audit session.
• User is allowed to audit one or multiple location groups per audit session. Partial closing of audit by location group is allowed.
• Only one session can be opened for a calendar month.
