Onwards we go...

So, as one project draws to a close (I finished the music score cataloguing!) another arises to take its place. This time: more labeling.  We need to match our DVD and CD cases on the shelves with the discs which we keep in media cabinets.  So, we need to make up labels to match the barcodes and stick them onto the boxes.  I won't be doing this one all by myself though, as one of the other staff will be helping.  It'll keep me occupied over the easter holidays anyway!

Personal / work milestone...

So yesterday, I hit a personal milestone in work - I catalogued my 7000th music score!

This was part of a project which has taken place over a number of years.  In our library, we bring in books which are a compilation of different musical scores.  Students often would come in and ask if we had had the score for a particular song they were looking at, and we would have to send them to the shelves to look through all these compilations.  So, in a moment of madness (and trying to be helpful!) I suggested that we catalogue each score individually so the title would come up in a simple search, telling us which book we had it in.

The majority of the scores were completed years ago, except for those in one book - the complete mission praise - a book which contained over 1000 scores all by itself!  I've been keeping this on as an ongoing project - something to do when other projects got a bit quiet.  I'm almost finished it now (only about 100 scores left to go!) and yesterday we hit the heady heights of over 7000 scores on catalogue.  So, a personal milestone, but it makes me happy in a little library geeky way  :)
