<p class="MsoNormal">Here’s a question: roughly how many new lots do you catalog in a year? Please include in your reply (a) what kind of collection it is and (b) how many lots it already has. I’m interested to see where you find bottlenecks in this workflow:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Physically receive material – catalog material – rehouse material – distribute material into the collection<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Also: roughly how much uncataloged backlog do you have (as a percentage of the cataloged collection)?<o:p></o:p></p>
