A Couple Days Behind

Sooo...it's Friday and I haven't posted since Tuesday. What does that mean? Since this blog is about what I do on a daily basis it means I'm a couple days behind on my posting. I'll start with Tuesday evening and continue from there.

Tuesday: July 9
This evening I worked to catch you guys up on the blog from the previous week. I also sat at the reference desk for a few hours (should have only been 1.5 hours, but I digress). I answered a whopping ZERO reference questions but plenty about printing and the like. Clearly I understand more and more each day why this desk is called "Information" and not "Reference" anymore.

Wednesday: July 10
I am completely clueless as to what transpired today. I remember it rained, like the bottom fell out of the sky and I was stuck in Walmart on my lunch type of rain. I did do a few hours on the Information Desk throughout the day. Other than that I believe all this rain the past week has washed away my memory. I need a vacation...a real vacation. In a land far far away from Alabama.

Thursday: July 11
Today was devoted to working on the Serials Project. I think I've mentioned this once before, but in case I didn't here goes. With this project, several of the librarians are working with the Local Holding Record Data (serials inventory and LHR on OCLC ) to update our serials collection. This process is tedious to say the least. We must manually check the current shelves, microfiche and microfilm cabinets, bound stacks, and storage shelves for all serials titles and their respective holdings. Sheesh, I'm tired just thinking about it. And no, I'm not done. You will hear plenty about this over the remainder of the summer.
