This week, I have been mostly...

  • Learning how to cancel purchase orders properly! I can now also unreceive items, which is simple but very handy to know when you've clicked once too many times.
  • Getting better at recognising when something that I shouldn't be cataloguing comes across my desk, although I'm still not very sure exactly what 'analytics' covers - at the moment I know that ANU epress are analytics and that if it has a date or number, called a 'project' or 'working paper,' or has a 440 field, it's probably an analytic. If anyone else has any tips for recognising them feel free to share!
  • Working my way through the RAP list, although at the moment it's covered in post-its to follow up.
  • Getting better at recognising strange deweys...and also understanding how to use the DDC books, which is kind of scary in a good way.
  • Getting more handy dewey tips, such as that if you have a biography mark on your cutter, you'd better have a biography number in your dewey (duh!).
  • Slowly but surely working my through the back log of dewey updates that go with my set of books.
  • Giggling a bit too much at Shaun Keaveny's show on BBC6. I highly recommend it if you like overtired British ridiculousness.
