WI 2017-18 - INFO I699-001: Independent Study: Nebinger School :Day 10: 1/23/2018

Today I spent the entire time rearranging boookshelves and books to accomodate the surprise non-fiction 398.2 cache. It was 4 shelves of 398.2 books that were formerly located near the sets of class books. All four shelves of books are now shelf-read and worked into the existing non-fiction section. This entailed adding another bookcase into the existing non-fiction section. The entire section of shelf-reading today ran from 398 - 398.8.

Tomorrow I plan to work on incorporating the remainder of the surprise cache of nonfiction into the existing non-fiction section. The surprise cache still has books ranging  from 419 - 900s, comprising 6 shelves. This means that the non-fiction shelving will now necessarily wrap around into the area currently housing the easy fiction and chapter books. 

Yesterday I met the principal, Natalie. She told me that she was meeting with the Nebinger Friends representatives today. I hope to hear the results of that meeting, since some of the things that will be covered are; the current use of the library, the planned use of the library (once it is re-opened)  and its implications for the layout of the library. 

Tomorrow the computers, cataloging software, printer and scanner should be installed. Once that is all up and running I can start phase two of my project: cataloging the collection.
