Week 6

Tu 10/9, 5:00-8:30
Duties: Minor reshelving of checked-in books both nights this week. Created online copy records for two books in acquisitions (procedure written down in notes, but will check Procedure Manual to find actual steps.). These two and four others ordered received from Amazon.com. Photocopier ‘rattling’ proved unsolvable by J. Montoya or myself. Left Postit for S. Robinson to try to fix and/or call for maintenance repair.
Evaluation: Sent out one ILL for patron – procedure ‘many-stepped’, but seemed to go easier after having done before. Advice from Ms. S. Johnson on copying files THEN changing appropriate information (in ‘fields’ or otherwise) came in handy while processing this.
Note to self: L. Bourgoin has said I will be supervising volunteer Karen Newton on faculty slide scan project(?etc.) a week from today. Also – appended to next week’s Practicum (B)Log will be a self-evaluation of progress made up to this point, acc. to Practicum goals to be used in her midterm critique of my performance.

Wed 10/10, 5:00-7:00
Duties: Two ILLS came in for patron and were processed to ready them for pickup. Shown how to do physical processing of books (acquired previous night) by Shawn.
Evaluation: While processing hardcovers with dustjackets seems fairly easy, applying sticky mylar to trade paperbacks will need practice. Did not finish one example of that due to time constraints.
