After turning in the rough draft of my entire internship project, I'm feeling a little disheartened. I spent countless hours on that thing (well, not countless, since I had to actually count them for my internship) and there are still issues. Today, my adviser and I went over a few of the searching mistakes I had made (or rather, showed me tricks of how to get around odd Workflows quirks) and I am to re-examine some of the records for which I had previously thought we were missing volumes.
Even though it seems tedious, I feel like I am learning a lot from this project. I have become close and personal with the M2s and M3s, which is such a small part of what the actual library is. I'm not sure that I'd want to be a collection developer for such a large facility, as I have no idea how my adviser manages to keep on top of all the incoming lists and acquisitions whilst attempting other projects like the one I am working on. It seems a rather overwhelming to even contemplate.
Time for Round 2!
