WI 2017-18 - INFO I699-001: Independent Study: Nebinger School :Day 30, :2/27/2018

Today I continued confirming and cataloging Juvenile Fiction. As usual I found some uncataloged, some Early Fiction and some Teen/YA Fiction mixed in, so I pulled those items out and placed them with their appropriate sections.

I heard back from my advisor today regarding the Easy Chapter books. She agreed that conflicting information can make cataloging a bit tricky. She suggested that, in order to prevent confusion going forward, I find a line in the catlog record for each item and make a notation, of the discrepancg to keep a record for anyone following after me. I made 3 line items: 1 for Easy Chapter, 1 for grade level and 1 for age level, providing the record does not already have those items as part of its record.

Unfortunately, sorting out the Jigsaw Jones items from yesterday took some time and I did not make as much headway today as I would have liked. I got the JF P's done.

I counted and it appears that the library will need 40 bookends at this time. I am going to ask the Nebinger Friends if they want to add that to the wishlist for purchasing or if they are OK if I ask the Community Outreach Librarian if Penn Libraries could donate some.

Also, I am going to suggest Avery or Demco colored dots on the spines to denote the different sections; Reference, Non-Fiction, Early Picturebooks, Easy Fiction, Easy Chapter Fiction, Juvenile Fiction, Teen/YA Fiction, Autobiographies, Biographies and Cultural Studies, to make re-shelving easier and prevent misshelving.

No pictures today, the shelves look very messy.
