And Another Tuesday...

          I got to learn more about the SIRSI system today. That was interesting. I did the global edit again and now I did it by myself. I knew where to go in the program and what to click. Then, I learned a new task in which I checked the circulation of the book. I would scan the book's barcode and I could look up how many times the book was checked out. Some libraries give out receipts when checking out books but we strictly use the "date due" slips so sometimes the number of stamps on the slips (every time the book is checked out the date gets stamped on the slip) didn't match up. Since the librarians would often look at how many stamps were on the "date due" slip as a reference to see how often the book was checked out, I had to put more stamps on the slips if they didn't have as many as they were supposed to. I also helped Marianne, the teen librarian, weed out (take out older books) young adult books from the "new young adult" section.
