Shelving and Shelf Reading

Sheets for recording your shelving and shelf reading have been posted on the bulletin board inside the Reserve Room. To end the semester as an employee in good standing, you must shelve 10 half carts of books and spend 10 half hours shelf reading. When you do this work is up to you, but do check with your supervisor before you leave the circulation desk. Also let your supervisor know each time you finish shelving or shelf reading, so he/she can record your work on the appropriate sheet. You can choose when you shelve and shelf read, but we recommend you do it on a weekly basis. Do be aware that if supervisors see shelving piling up around us all, or an area in the stacks greatly out of order, we will instruct you to go out to remedy the situation right away.

Got questions about shelving or shelf reading? See Terry or your supervisor. Feel like you need more training in order to shelve or shelf read properly? Again, see Terry or your supervisor. Head phones are permitted in the stacks. Have fun with it!
