Week 12

November 19-20, 2007
Short week due to Thanksgiving break hence only 2 days had Practicum hours worked.

Mon 11/19 (Practicum Hours: 11:30am-1pm)
Encountered problem w/pc in VR Room -- Adobe Reader not enabling Word file to turn into a pdf (contacted Cashman to attend to this). Went over overdue fines with some patrons (due to lateness have been instructed by L. Bourgoin to refer expensive cases to her first before as of 11/20).
Tues 11/20 (PH: 11:30am-1pm)
Helped patron decide on anatomical drawings to use as reference for class. Prepared ILL to loan out to borrowing library (shipped out 11/21). Made list of FYA ILLs for possible collection development. Supervised Student Worker J. Montoya's checking of titles available for that as well on Baker & Taylor.
Evaluation: Will have to send out overdue notices on a more regular basis to prevent long overdues despite it being patron's responsibility. On a plus side this week -- have gotten positive feedback from students and faculty inre my approach to helping them/find research materials.
