Updates All Around...

The new Shifting Assessment for the USF Tampa Library has been posted on the USF Tampa Library Stacks Management homepage along with the new Shelf-Reading Assignments for the Stacks Management SAs to keep current with numbers of employees, the Circulating Collection Shifting Project, and anticipation of collection usage prior to the beginning of the Fall Semester.

A Whole New World in Here...

Most of the updates that have been posted to the blog recently have been rather routine, but now there is a break in the cycle.


A list of several new occurrences within the USF Tampa Library:

-The Shifting Project taking place over the course of the Summer Semesters within the 3rd, 4th, and 5th floors is drawing to a close with a large amount of space being opened up in high-density areas while incorporating overly-spacious range sections. The end of the Summer B session will officially close out the semester long collection project, but areas of advanced concentrations will be selected for the Fall in continuing updates to ensure that such a misappropriation of space does not repeat. A great deal of thanks to Jay and Cleo, (Student Assistants in Stacks Management), for their incredibly hard work on this project.

-As a result of the Shifting Project, new signage has been placed at the ends of all ranges on the 3rd floor, (and will continue through the rest of this week and next week on the 4th and 5th floors), indicating the new call number ranges occupying those shelves.

-New signage is now posted in the Sorting Areas on the 3rd, 4th, and 5th floors. This is now a permanent replacement for the temporary signs that were previously hanging from the sorting tables.

-A new set of Shelf-Reading Assignments is going to be posted to the USF Tampa Library Stacks Management Homepage to accommodate the spacial redistribution of Circulating material and the upcoming transition from the Summer to Fall semesters via the two week Intersession.

And the Shift Goes On...

The weekly update for the USF Tampa Library Circulating Collection shifting project is currently published on the Stacks Management page .

Below is a link to a fellow blogger's post on the creation of information as a process from data. Interesting from a librarian stand point as books offer such a medium.

New Signs to Guide You on Your Way...

Due to the large amount of work being done on the shifting project in the USF Tampa Library's Circulating Collection on floors 3, 4, and 5, the range listings for the material placed on each set of shelves is currently being updated. Our apologies for any confusion during this time that may result from material being in only the generally correct shelving area rather than the specific. The updates to all of the signage on the ranges should be completed within the next several business days and is expected to be completely wrapped up by the end of next week.

Like Clockwork...

The new update of the Shifting project at the USF Tampa Library has been posted on the Stacks Management homepage. The project is approximately half-way completed and should be entirely finished within the month of August. Kudos to all involved in the physical labor of this on-going task.
