Oct 15 '09 - 30 min

Joyce walked me through the magazine processing procedures today. Magazines are recorded in a flip file as received, assigned a barcode number, stamped with the school name, and stickered for check out. She showed me how to input each item in Alexandria, run barcode labels, put new items out for use, and file back issues. I basically puppy dogged after her, asking questions. I get to try on my own (with her help) tomorrow.

Oh, it was interesting to learn which title get "stripped" (magnetic security tape) and which don't. I guess it's just experience that tells you what magazine tend to disappear more regularly than others.
