Ashley and I were able to inventory all the books and materials that have been donated thus far for the library project in Xoxocotla, Mexico. We finished up the inventory before spring break, and we will continue to inventory books and materials until it is time to leave in May. We will soon be working on a catalog system for the new library....I am excited about this!
I will also be working on a project within the library, beginning this week. Ashley and I sat down sometime last semester and brainstormed on why the library isn't and may not be a very inviting, friendly environment for patrons and visitors. We all thought of how we could make a more positive environment.....and one of our ideas was to put pictures of IUPUI University Library librarians on READ posters and to post these up around the library! I'm excited to say that this idea has taken off and is about to be in effect!!!! So watch out guys!! If this project proves to be effective (in a good way) we will branch out and post READ posters in different schools and departments (i.e. READ poster of Ed Gonzalez, a science, engineering, technology, informatics and nursing librarian, in the appropriate buildings). :)
Ciao!
