Report for Library Database 26/06/2009

Not that the rest of the year has been quiet but the end of the teaching year brings a new peak in demands. Several of the Libraries use this time to take stock of their holdings, so I have spent a fair amount of time devoted to the production of shelflists for them.

However the highest demand on time has been the work involved with the re-classification of the Precinct Library, most of which has been done now, and the major re-classification at the Eddie Davis Library where they are moving from the London Classification of Business Studies classification to the Dewey classification.

I took the opportunity to re-write the scripts that were previously used to change Talis, produce labels etc, and have reduced the number of Fortran programs by two. Only about another 40 to go!

The coming month sees more stock moves as Des will be weeding Blue 3 and moving the stock to Store and no doubt planning for financial year roll-over will begin.
