Progress Report on Children's Department Activities from July 31 - August 14
* YA inventory complete - Kelly and I completed this project on Tuesday, August 13. We are awaiting the returns
(RA'd) items.
* Magazine shift - All magazines have been shifted. Kelly is nearly finished with the magazine holdings update
and label changes for the storage items.
* Easy readers have been relabeled and database changes made.
* Volunteers taped J magazines (back issues).
* Volunteers are in the process of visually checking filmstrips for scratches/tears/holes.
* Pages have completed the easy mending project. HURRAY! We will be moving into YA mending soon.
* J non-fiction inventory/weeding. Shari and I have begun inventory/weeding of J non-fiction. I discarded a number
of items from the J000-J499 section. We will be picking up those areas that I did not inventory over the last 2
years. Once complete, we have only EJ tic and easy to inventory.
* I have caught up on the book selection tools. Booklist and Kirkus - those in my possession at any rate. But I
have six months of School Library Journal to absorb.
* The filmstrip project is progressing - though slowly. I have added the newly purchased tapes to the collection,
labeled them, and made changes to the cards. Weeding is complete through E. Once I have weeded the
filmstrip/record combos, things will move much more quickly. We need to discuss a) the continuation or not of the
filmstrip card catalog, b) a new check-out system.
