brary, they are free! And there is
such a big selection and so many to
choose from! I don't see how peo-
ple can not use the library."
However, it was not until
Beverly began working at the li-
brary over a month ago that she be-
gan to realize what was involved in
making the library work. "I had no
idea, she said. "People think you
just stand at the front desk and
check books in and out and talk to
people all day, but there is a lot
more to.it than that."
Beverly is our new Library
Technical Assistant. She spends
some time at the circulation desk,
but most of her time is spent up-
stairs working on bookkeeping and
processing.
A graduate of Longwood
College in Farmville, Virginia,
Beverly has her BS degree in
mathematics and a teaching certifi-
cate in math and accounting. In ad-
dition to teaching, she has had ex-
perience in accounting and
computer programming. Her back-
ground and knowledge are useful
as we transfer out accounting from
ledger to Lotus 1-2-2, and as we
work toward automated circulation
through Sirsi and Cleve-Net.
The automation project is pro-
gressing well, and by spring, we
hope to have the entire collection
entered in the data base, so that we
can circulate all books and audio
visual materials through the com-
puter. At the present time, we are
entering all new books in the data
base before they are placed on the
shelves, but except for certain
small collections, such as the
Lauback materials, we do not yet
have enough of the total holdings
in the computer to begin automated
circulation.
The AV collections, however,
are completely on line and are cir-
culated only through Sirsi and
Cleve-Net. This includes video
tapes, audio tapes, records, kits,
and compact discs. In order to cir-
culate audio visual materials, we
enter the patron's identification
number, and scan the OCR number
on each item with the light wand.
The computer then charges the
- item to the patron, calculates the
date it is due back in the library,
and tabulates overdue fines if any.
When the item is returned and dis-
charged by scanning the OCR
number with the light wand, it is
automatically removed from the
patron's account. In this way, much
routing and time consuming record
keeping is handled by the comput-
er, and the margin for error is not
as great as it is in manual systems.
Entering new items in the data
base as a routine part of the pro-
cessing procedure is no problem. It
is the retroactive conversion which
will take up the most time. After
careful weeding, each book in the
existing collection must be repro-
cessed and assigned an OCR num-
ber as it is entered in the data bale.
The reference collection and the
Lauback materials have already
been entered, and we are currently
working on the adult fiction and ju-
nior. We appreciate the many hours
of volunteer help which have en-
