Seventh Week

To start my seventh week at the library, I checked books that were ready to be discarded, I made sure that they were marked as discarded in the computer system and were labeled as discarded on the physical book.  I put new magazines into the computer system, I discarded old magazines, I switched out the magazines on display and switched the old displays in the computer system so that they can be checked out, I shelved books, worked the circulation desk, worked in the work room, found on shelf holds, faxed, put holds on books, answered telephones, worked the computer lab, and looked for books that were supposedly discharged.  The new thing for me this week was working in the computer lab.  I was taught how to look up patrons card numbers if they did not have the library card on them, how to sign a patron up for an internet card, how to print off pages for the patrons, and how to reserve rooms.  This was a great experience for me because it gives me another look at the library's many resources.
