Dornish Collection Overflow

Time: 9 AM to 12 PM & 5 PM to 8 PM
Hours: 6

Morning
I gave both Sue and Ruth my printed schedule of when I plan to be at the Library and other possible activities. To create the calender, I used Google calender. I'd been aware of the tool, but never had real cause to use it before. I found it very useful and easy to use. I love that it pops up a notification when something you scheduled is about to start. What a great little reminder.

I worked for Sue this morning. I finished the task she had set for the Dornish Collection overflow: Take two separate alphabets and condense them into one. There were also a couple more piles to be added into the collection. Putting the books in order was not a problem, but I had trouble with some of the small pop-up books. The book ends kept sliding whenever I tried to move the books or add more in. I added another book end between the pop-ups and the other books to keep them from falling over and it worked perfectly.

Evening
I spent a half hour updating the loose leaf binders while I waited for Claire to finish with a class. After she returned, we took up our station at the reference desk. When we weren't assisting any students, we were talking about graduate schools and Master programs in Library Science. In the free moments I went onto the ALA website and looked up accredited colleges with MLS programs. Night time at the library is obviously slower than the day, but there is still enough activity to keep you alert. I get the feeling from people who come to ask for help in finding information didn't even bother to look on their own first. That may not be a bad thing neccissarily, but it's nice to know people can come to the library with enough knowledge to find what they need. If they don't, however, that's what the workers in the library are there for - to be the bridge you need.
