A Typical Day at the Library
I typically spend my days processing orders for books, electronic subscriptions, and physical items for the library. It is logistically intensive as we track data like usage, budget, order status, and more. I also spend time physically receiving items and testing electronic databases for function. We are always communicating with liaisons and other departments to ensure professors and students have access to the library items they require for a successful educational experience.
