Hello,

I was wondering if there was a way to use CSpace to generate a random selection of objects from the collection to conduct a random sample inventory? I know that the NPS curation software has a tool to generate and complete a random inventory to assess the intellectual and physical control levels of the collection. I briefly looked through the CSpace tools but did not see anything that might support this, but I figured I should check with you all to be sure. Thank you for your time and help!

Best Wishes,

Aimee
