I have a project...

... and when I have a project I'm happy!  We're keeping busy here at work - term has started again, and with the beginning of a new academic year comes many *very* busy days of new students, a rearranged library (where even we get a bit lost in the shelves sometimes...), and inductions: both class sized, and individual.  But now we are heading towards our October holidays (a whole week off: hurrah!) and things are starting to calm down, as students get used to where things are and what they are doing.  So, it was time for a new project!  Many moons ago I posted about one of my analytical cataloguing projects - adding all of our music scores to stock individually so they were searchable on the catalogue by song title.  I had also done the same with the play compilations.  Now, I've started on a new job: tackling the monologues, duologues and poetry compilations.  Monologues and duologues will be catalogued by the play title, subtitled as whichever it is, and listed as a chapter of a book.  Also listed will be if it is for one man, one woman, one of each etc.  This should help the students to narrow down a choice of speeches.  The poems will be treated in mostly the same way, as we do have people asking sometimes if we have a particular poem, or something by a specific poet.  This should keep me occupied for a while!
