Week 2

Tu 9/11, 5:00-8:00
Duties: Came in early both nights this week hence the ‘flex time’ in my scheduled work. Also, started off reshelving books while also handling circulation desk (as planned). Familiarized myself with materials in Visual Resource Center and policies. Instructed on how a reserve holding is made in a patron’s online file. Received list of passcodes for Follett Modules.
Evaluation: Time seemed to go by quickly with some duties to be gone over Wednesday night.

Wed 9/12, 5:15-8:15
Duties: During a period of time when Ms. Johnson had to assist a faculty member, I did additional shelf reading/fixed sections (Figure Drawing; Gaugin; etc) that had been mis-shelved out of order, perhaps by patrons. Did two interlibrary loan samples: one book and one article/abstract. Next week should get around to technical processing while other instruction might focus on online reference and working w/serials.
Evaluation: The reorganizing of shelf materials tonight was an example of the “pro-active” approach that should be mandatory (even if self-initiated) in any library employment, part or full-time.
Note to self: The weekly posting of this log seems to be working so far, with additional queries by Ms. Bourgoin answered before the nightly session(s).
