Planning the new Library – Week 1

Michael Parker Library No Comments »

Over the coming weeks and months, I will post regularly to show the planning stages that we are going through to create the new Library.

Week 1 onwards

Establish a baseline for future assessment:

  • Take an inventory of all furniture and equipment – done
  • Stock-take and count all resources – started, continue next week
  • Take statistics from the Library Management System to assess past borrowing – next week
  • Try to work out previous patterns of use – next week
  • Photograph library – done

In addition, I have begun the process of learning the Eclipse 2 Library Management System, addiing on new students and updating existing recrods. I have also tried to get to know the staff and students!

Altogether a steep learning curve – but very enjoyable!

These photos show the Library on the 1st September 2008. I will continue to post photos to show how we are progressing in our development of the new Library.
