Welcome to News Notes Online Spotlights Cyrillic Manuscript Hertiage Harry Campbell was asked to write an article (Conservation of the Bugariu Molitvenik Bogat, 1848) for the Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies Newsletter on the preservation work he did on the Cyrillic printed book they had received as a gift. This article can be found at: cmrs.osu.edu/rcmss/newsletter/cmhv15/cmhv15p07.htm. http://library.osu.edu/sites/staff/newsnotes/040901/ (9 of 14) [8/31/2007 4:24:20 PM]
Welcome to News Notes Online Book prior to work Pages of another book used for book board Book after preservation Spot Bonus Awards Dennis Gordon Vika Novikova Vika's and Dennis's many job responsibilities include selection and downloading of bib records, processing of approval orders, receipt, duplicate identification and problem-solving, and copy cataloging of approval books in the Monographs Department. In previous fiscal years, it was common for backlogs of approval books to accumulate during peak periods. This delayed patron access to new books and slowed processing of invoices for payment. This is common in most libraries that receive http://library.osu.edu/sites/staff/newsnotes/040901/ (10 of 14) [8/31/2007 4:24:20 PM]
Welcome to News Notes Online large, uneven-sized approval shipments, especially around holidays when many staff and selectors are absent. Once begun, the backlogs may take months to clear, since more approval materials continue to be shipped 52 weeks per year. Marsha Hamilton, head of the Monographs Department, set a goal to have all in-process backlogs cleared and to handle new materials continually on a "just in time" basis. Vika and Dennis made an extraordinary effort to successfully achieve and then to maintain this difficult goal. On their own initiative, they identified ways to increase production and speed throughput while accepting new responsibilities related to the processing of other materials. The extraordinary work Dennis and Vika performed to keep approval receipts current made it possible, with the work of other members of the sections, to clear more approval invoices this June than previously thought possible prior to a fiscal close.
