- Spend morning running around madly dealing with getting a new invoice for something Title related and getting it over to the office. Yay, done.
- Got into conversation at lunch, discovered another British folk rock fan, and also showed him how to solve one of his current problems through JSTOR
- Decided to ditch a bunch of our biographical dictionaries, and have requested a trial of one of Gale's products (the Biography Resource Center) online as a suitable replacement. (Our reference biography sets all date from the late 80s or early 90s, and are fairly white-male centered, so, really, new stuff nice.)
- Weeded a whole bunch of stuff out of the early 900s because we're still having a space crunch. Sent email to our Latin teachers and French teachers going "Let me buy you books on your subjects that were published this century!" (Most of the stuff weeded - *4* shelves of it - are late 80s and early 90s.
One notable title:
"Berlin is a city of [some number of million I forget right now.] Divided through the center by a 4.5 meter wall...."
Yeah. This is why we weed. Really.
- wrote a maintainance request saying "When I walk by part of my shelving, I hear fast flowing water in the wall. Just thought you might like to know." (It appears to be flowing and not coming through the wall in any way I can discern, but yeah. Not a sound you expect on an interior wall.)
I go back now to weeding and moving the 920s around appropriately.
