Our presentation details a novel approach to inventory through our ILS' weeding workflows. The workflow functions as a figurative 'lens' through which our holdings are assessed for item and bibliographic-level cataloguing errors or inconsistencies; the proliferation of these for some 16 years prior being a major pain point in the transition to a new ILS. As opposed to typical "snapshot" models of inventory, our method manifests a recombinant teleological and modular process; reporting and data accrual are now continual versus periodic in output, and there is no need for closure. While the procedure is tied to a specific ILS, we believe the broader philosophy and underlying concepts will be applicable to most other library systems.
