WI 2017-18 - INFO I699-001: Independent Study: Nebinger School :Day 31, :2/28/2018

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. As of today JF O-Pau is complete. It was interesting that both Gary Paulsen and Scott O'Dell had titles for both JF and Teen/YA - those were some of the books that requried a little more research, then got separated into their appropriate sections. Two good things have come from this process: 1. The Teen/YA section is building up and, 2. The JF section is freeing up shelf space - it was pretty tight prior to this project.

I heard back from Debbie of Nebinger Friends and she thinks the idea of dot labels on the different sections of books is a good one, so she has ordered the labels and they should arrive soon. She also gave me the name of another Nebinger Friend volunteer who would be willing to help with the project.

I reached out to the Community Outreach Librarian at Penn Libraries and he (Ancil) thinks there may be surplus bookends available that could be donated to Nebinger. That would be really helpful.

Tomorrow - more checking and cataloging of JF - M's and N's.
