Objectives:
Progress:
Current window display placed in September 2003. Received many

Current display will be replaced after Christmas break.

Display was changed to the Brittle Book display week of 2/02/04.

Conservation
Open House.
- Primary Contact:
- John Freund johfreu@mail.uflib.ufl.edu
Objectives:
-
Beginning Fall
semester, institute an open house day.
Designate one day a week, between 9-12 or
1-3, and open the side
door to the Conservation area.
A sign will be placed in the hall inviting people in where
Rod and I will be working on various projects. We can talk to
people, answer questions, give information.
-
Keep statistics and
records of questions and comment. Leave open the possibility of
expanding the time and or scope, depending on interest.
Progress:
Started having open hours on Tuesday afternoons from 1:00 - 4:00 the
first week in October. It has been slow, but expect more people to
come in when all operations have moved into Library East.
12/03 One or two people come in every afternoon we are
open. Since
traffic will be much heavier after the Holiday break, I would
like to keep open Tuesdays at least through next semester.
2/26/04 Remain open on Tuesday afternoons with the average number of
visitors at 5 or six per day. Some staff stop in every week to see what we
are doing, and last week (2/24) we had an outside visitor that stayed for
over 2 hours and plans on coming back on March 9.

Staff
training:
- Primary Contact:
- John Freund johfreu@mail.uflib.ufl.edu
Objectives:
-
By January 1, 2004, have in place plans for
workshops and classes, open and available to library staff in the
area of simple book construction and repair, binding, book arts and
other conservation issues.
-
Expand the workshops,
if appropriate to cover areas if interest and need in specific
departments. For example, Circulation might request a short workshop
showing student shelvers the appropriate items to route to
conservation.
Progress:
No progress as of 11/03.
12/03. Staff in the branches have been asking about basic repair
training. It may be time to have a couple of those classes first, then
gauge the interest in other training. Right now and until the moves
and library consolidation levels off, everyone is too busy for this
type of project.
2/27/04 Talked briefly to Trudi DiTrollio and asked for her
input. She thought it was a good idea and we will have a meeting later in
March to discuss possibilities and details. Progress on this goal has been
delayed because of the general organizational problems involving the moves
and closing of Library West. I am thinking that summer may be a good time
to start these classes which will mean this goal will need to be carried
over to the next year.
