[Koha] Inventory Workaround

[Kohn, Karen]

We are in the middle of an inventory right now.  Our student workers are
going through the shelves with a laptop and a barcode scanner and just
scanning the barcodes as they go. If you pretend you're checking in the
book, you'll get a message saying it was not checked out, but the date last
seen will update to the date you scanned the barcode.  When they're done
I'll run a report of items that haven't been seen since before the
inventory started.  This process doesn't help us catch if a book is
mis-shelved, but it accomplishes the basic goal.
