The deadline to submit firm orders this year is 4/30/24. As always, we will continue to order faculty requests and rush orders. Please remember to spend out your endowment funds if you haven't done so already.
HL3 Weeding
The weeding of the HL3 bound journal collection, 349 titles, began on March 1, 2024.
Sixty-one titles earmarked as discard have been pulled from the collection. The 61 titles consisted of 1409 vols.
Ten titles earmarked as partial discard, have been pulled from the collection. The 10 titles consisted of 341 vols.
In total, over the past 2 weeks, 1750 volumes have been removed from HL3 and recycled. T. Chiusano will be
updating the Alma and OCLC records in March and April.
In mid-March, we will begin processing 149 titles that are to be transferred offsite. The 149 titles consist of 4396 vols.
Offsite processing involves multiple steps and is time consuming. In addition to using student employees, staff from
Access Services and R&DS will be helping with the project.
VHS Weeding
Lauren in Video Collection is weeding the VHS tape collection which consists of thousands of titles.
VHS titles earmarked for discard are entered onto a list and the list is given to Terrence to remove the item records
in Alma.
Each week, Gloria, and her student employees pack 120 - 150 discards and ship them to Green Disk for recycling.
Lost/Missing Report
In order to give more time for books to be returned, the Lost/Missing Report will now be uploaded to Google Drive
quarterly.
On 3/18/24, the Lost/Missing Report covering “December 2023, January 2024, and February 2024” was uploaded to
Google Drive and selectors were notified. The report contains 97 titles. Selectors were asked to review the report
by April 30, 2024.
The next Lost/Missing Report will be produced and emailed to selectors in June 2024.
Workspace relocation
In early March, Gloria’s workspace was relocated to the back corner of R&DS (previously Mike Herzog’s area). The
space is open and flows better for the student employees who are processing materials to be transferred offsite.
Mike has relocated to Jan Hardy’s cubicle, the first cubicle outside the Acquisitions Office.
