We also do more or less exactly what Jennifer and others have outlined in more 
detail.  When the scanning is done, we generally pull our missing list directly 
from the DB, with a query something like the one listed below (adjust to suit), 
which we then import into Excel for staff/student searching of items.

Several of our libraries have run inventory using the procedure we came up 
with:  
http://docs.sitka.bclibraries.ca/Sitka/current/html/inventory.html

I can send more details about the report templates we have set up if anyone is 
interested.
