Help Shelve a Flood of Books http://sites.middlebury.edu/lis/2009/12/14/help-shelve-a-flood-of-books/ http://sites.middlebury.edu/lis/2009/12/14/help-shelve-a-flood-of-books/#respond Mon, 14 Dec 2009 17:20:22 +0000 http://sites.middlebury.edu/lis/?p=18451 bookcart
Hello,
The LIS Stacks department is currently drowning in a huge flood of returns.
Circulation Services is looking for LIS “volunteers” to help re-shelve. Do you have any time to spare during your regularly scheduled time between now and the 24th? If so, please check with your supervisor – and if approved by your supervisor, please contact Rich Church. The benefits are great – the hours are flexible, and shelving is a calm, quiet, stress free activity. The only requirement is a willingness to help. We’ll provide an orientation and a brief lesson in the Library of Congress Classification System.
Even an hour or two would help – thanks!
Elin
