Day 21

Today I had the opportunity to take a shipment of new monographs and go through the process of unpacking them, making sure all the materials were there and had been ordered. Then I downloaded the MARC records for these items from Ezcat. The Marin County Public Library often has the best records among those sources for records usually checked by BCPL. I also spent time covering and laminating some of these books. The rest of the day was spent helping patrons and shelving.

Day 22

I spent some time downloading some records for some recently donated large print novels. These items seem to be popular and necessary for the library. There were many new items received this week that needed covering/laminating and I was happy to help do some more of this work today.
