Day 25

Today was spent mostly cleaning up records of recently downloaded MARC records for some recently acquired large print books. Yvonne showed me how you can order/download records from OCLC and that it costs $.87 for each record. This is usually done for books in which no record can be found through the systems loaded on Ezcat. After we determined the status of the records for each book, I cleaned up the record and added copies into the system. Later I continued physical processing of the books.

Day 26

Today was a little slow. I helped patrons at the circulation desk and picked up and straightened some materials. Also helped Chris a bit with loading some CD-ROM programs onto a new computer to be placed in the Children’s Department.
