Skilled Access users can create their own queries. I have not yet developed a weeding module, that creates candidate weeding lists from the shelflist. At Winona State, we have only been using the system for a year, so there are no older records yet to weed. When I looked at Kendra Swope's system, she had a table for storing information about the shipping list, which I decided not to include. One major structural problem is that there are no serial records.
Every piece is treated as a unique item.
The reason for this is that the shipping list treats each item as unique. My goal in this system is to reduce the amount of keyboarding that the checker needs to do. Adding a serial record would, I believe, add to the keyboarding and the time that check-in requires. I do not think that serial records are absolutely necessary, especially since you can search the shelflist by class number and pull up all items in the series. So I have stressed the convenience of the checker over the cleanness and friendliness of the database.
