Daily Routine

There are a number of tasks that you are responsible for on a daily basis.

These include:

  • Clocking In/Out in both the Sign In book at Circulation and in my.ufl.edu.
  • Wearing your Staff badge. These are located in a box next to the sign in book.

 

  • Writing in the tasks you accomplished during the day in the Daily Acitivities Log located at the back of the sign in book.

 

  • Taking carts up and down from the 2nd floor and either placing thes books in reshelving areas or reshelving them





  • Sweeping your floor and helping sweep other floors as needed.
    Sweeping includes picking up all the materials from the tables and copy areas on a floor and returning them to the appropriate reshelving areas or the stacks.

 

  • Shelving books, periodicals, microform and documents in your section.
  • Blocking in your section (this means lining all of the books up straight with the edge of the shelf).
  • Shelf reading your section (this means going through each shelf in order and ensuring all of the books are in the correct call number order and fixing those that are not. Your goal is to shelf read your section once completely by the end of each semester. You should also be shelf reading smaller sections as you shelve to ensure that heavily used areas are kept in order. Please refer to the "Shelf Reading" page for further instructions.

 

  • Leveling- this means taking the books that are on the book shelves next to the elevators and those in the copy areas to their appropriate floors and placing them in the correct reshelving areas.

 

 

  • Recording titles and years of all journals swept and brought up/down from the 2nd floor to the 1st and 3rd floors. There are clipboards provided on each floor for recording this. Please bring your own pen as if one is left with the clipboard it is stolen.
