Thursday - Global Edit

          Today was pretty good. I helped out in the children's section again. It's amazing how messy it can get. Not surprising though - they're kids. There was more reorganizing today with labels. I had to change old summer reading list books to regular books. This entailed taking off some stickers, doing a global edit (more about that in a second), and reshelving them in their regular places. Now, the global edit was something new. It wasn't very complicated, but it was quite helpful. Basically, I used the computer to change all the old summer reading books to regular books located in the children's section. I used the library's system (SIRSI, I think it's called), went to cataloguing, and found "global edit". I simply commanded the computer to modify the item type - "schoollistp" (summer reading books) to "book" - and the location to "Children's". Then I just had to scan the barcodes and they all changed.
