Nonfiction Restoration

Here is a large sample of the progress from start to current finish on the non-fiction weeding and reshelving. While it was very tidy in the middle, the area is now being repurposed for the makerspace, so the books are currently compressed. This will eventually be rectified, but the makerspace never would have fit in this corner had so much weeding not taken place.

Weekly Reflection 5
This week (April 29) was primarily focused on similar tasks to my second week at Eckstein. I ended up covering over a dozen picture books and a few hardbacks with protective plastic, changed dozens of call numbers for the non-fiction section, and rearranged two sections of the library to provide more space and be more functional for students.

Weekly Reflection 2
This week (April 8th) was primarily spent re-shelving checked-in materials and removing weeded books from the library catalog. While I don’t normally spend time re-shelving anything but non-fiction materials (since the library TAs mostly handle that), there was some backlog and I decided it was worth the time to be more familiar with the library layout and where books were shelved.
