Hi Carrie,
 
Our museum is doing this as well...so I'll be looking for suggestions to your query too. But, I did find it helpful to approach the inventory process as part of a 'documentation plan', which I either saw it referred to as such on this list or read elsewhere.
 
So this is what I am doing now in order to establish formal procedures for inventorying, etc., will all be included in the documentation plan.

Does any one have a procedure for identifying areas of the collection to be inventoried or a workflow for conducting an inventory that they would be willing to share?
 
 We have a rough mechanism identifying areas to be inventoried, but no formal policy.  We are being asked to start documenting our procedures and I would like to see if we can improve our approach.
 
Thanks for your help,
Carrie Snow
