Library Lens - Week 1

Friday, January 17, 2014 by Nancy Collins

Welcome to the first week of the Library Lens!

We had some great submissions from staff members in Cataloguing, Circulation, and Digital Initiatives this week, showing us the finer aspects of ordering a book, decorating your department's fridge, opening the book drop after the holiday break, multi-tasking, and wishing "happy retirement" to a valued colleague.
