Summer Projects

Here is an update on the summer projects:

1) Students should continue with the discarding of the NUC materials. Students are asked to please use the industrial strength bags for the discarding since we are having a hard time getting boxes.

2) Lari-Anne will begin weeding of materials in the J and K sections of the collection beginning the week of June 5th. She will work with Michelle and Jaci for student workers and will work with Avis concerning the pulling of title pages and bar codes.

3) Amy Saxton is reviewing the periodicals list for the decision of what will be boxed for storage and what will be moved to the 1st floor. The first priority will be the boxing of items for storage. The boxing of periodicals will not begin until we have instructions from Manoa on how to update the Voyager catalog to show the paper version of these materials are not available.

4) Amy Saxton will be working on the weeding of gift books. She will work with Michelle and Jaci for student workers.

5) Stephen will begin a project of numbering all the stack ranges and shelves. You will see DOTS placed on most ranges and shelves. These DOTS will be used to help mark the boxes of items we pull from the shelves and box during storage. Each staff member will be given a slip of paper to make suggestions on what we want the final renovation to look like. Details and the paper slips will be handed out at the June 2, 2006 pre-construction meeting.
