Day in the Life Project libday8 day 4
9.00 coffee under the sun. Still a headache but decided that really I have to go to work today
9.30 meeting with a company for self-issue security system. We only spoke of RFID, its advantages, its new lower costs, .... its issues with ... well a blog is not the place to discuss this. Must ask other colleagues, and visit the Oxford College that went with this company.
10 am no one for the tour. Rather rude student attacking me on "why she could not borrow?", I have to admit with my migraine I was not the best of librarian in my answer.
10.05 answering an email on copyright: no a student cannot make a copy of a CD we have... however perhaps this will change with the consultation (though I doubt it very much!)
10.10 processing new books coming from Blackwells. Lots of English books as I realised I did not order much for this language so far during this financial year. Received also Lao for beginners, that I must catalogue first. 10.50 doing photocopies for a student, as it was an American book, I checked before if it was not in the (in)famous list of forbidden works (to copy! NOT to read! Times have changed!).
11.20 Lao for Beginners, here we go! Hope I will find you in some library records, somewhere...Found you in OCLC worldcat :-) pfew!
11.50 technical help for audio-visual material.
12.40 time spent with Отец Т. (Father T.) a Russian speaking Ukrainian priest, who needed some serious TLC in the English exam section, IELTS in particular.
2 pm no one for the tour.
2.05 continue with the processing of the books with CDs: I give them an archive number.
2.45 standing in the library in front of the academic books, the sun is on my face, wonderful, does wonder for my headache.
3.32 realises that having a security system will change a lot of things here, not necessarily all good. Must see. And think more.
3.42 will do a bit of cataloguing and then go home.
