So I've completed my Bibz order and my DVD order for August. Nothing to do, really, till September and the next Bibz order--just be my usual brilliant self on the reference desk.
UPDATE: Finished the September Bibz order too. Sheesh. Lotta thumb-twiddling gonna happen between now and October 16.
UPDATE: Finished revisions on Midwest Tape order, and will start receiving about two dozen Chinese titles after I get off of the desk. In an hour. Go, Clock!!!

One more river to cross* : Slugging it out till 10/17
It's going to be a little dull around here for a few weeks. I'm about half-way through a new order for DVDs, and as usual for non-awards season, I have to dig hard to fill that $8200 order every other month.
I did have an interesting end to last Wednesday. Three reference questions in rapid succession.
(phone) What was the first circus to play the Philadelphia Spectrum in 1967?
(desk) Where do I get a referral for "Eyes for the Needy"?
(desk, ninety seconds to close) Can I get a copy of the life and casualty insurance exam textbook right now?
Never a dull moment.
Onward.

Hurray for Hollywood*: Weeding in the Secret Garden, part xi
So I'm working on weeding the DVD collection, and I must say, it's a well-circulated, well-used collection. Very few items have a last circulation longer than three months, and most, especially in the feature film category, circulate at least monthly. One of the least popular is Lolita. I guess modern sensibilities look askance at stories like that. Do I discard? I did discard it.
I'm also making sure that each item is in its proper area. Again, thanks to our Library Assistants, most everything is, so I'm glad to move whatever isn't in the right place. Tedious, repetitive work, but necessary to keep patrons happy.
Finally, I'd like to welcome readers from Cambodia (country #66 heard from), or should I say,
