Filming Production for August
Many reels of duplication came back from the vendor during the month of
August. Currently the microfilm is being catalogued on OCLC by a
Preservation student. No reels have been shipped to the National
Agriculture Library yet, however a large shipment will go out before the end of
the grant.
Cataloguing
Production for August
The renovation of the Resource Services offices continued through the month
of August, causing some disruptions in production. Susan reported that
Jack catalogued 56 monographs and 6 theses before leaving the USAIN position to
accept a permanent position in the Libraries. Susan finished cataloguing
the Florida Cattleman and four titles are almost ready to come down to
Preservation but they are missing many issues. She previously tried to
interlibrary loan the missing issues, but was unsuccessful. Jimmie
catalogued a Bulletin, and has two more to go. Daniel may have one
Bulletin, but it is unlikely. Cathy suggested that big runs of serials be
tackled first, and the smaller runs left until later. Susan still has
approximately 35 monographs left to catalogue that Jack did not have time to
finish before leaving.
Budget Update
Cathy approximates that we will be returning $15,000.00 to Cornell, which
will probably be appropriated to Nebraska.
Work Flow for
Remaining Weeks
Susan estimates there are approximately 50 titles left upstairs to
catalogue, when all title changes are taken into account. The more
complete titles (bigger runs) should be catalogued first, and then tackle the
smaller runs. Nelda stated we are about 250-275 titles from our target.
Lake
Alfred Returns
Preservation would like to return materials that will not be filmed via the
DILI courier. Jimmie suggested that Daniel Cromwell may like to take
things back. She will check with Daniel, and if he is not interested, she
will make sure that Lake Alfred does not mind receiving the materials via the
DILI courier.
Respectfully
Submitted,
Victoria Naipavel
