Workflw We have about 1600 current journal titles and one staff member doing check-in and claiming. All journals are shelved by Circulation. Once checked in, they are sent to Circulation for shelving. We have a daily, and a current year display, besides the backfiles. Volumes returned from bindery are also shelved by Circulation.

Workflw Sharon, At Northwest Missouri State U., I am one of 3 full time staff members that work 7:30 am to 12 midnight. We do whatever shelving the student workers don't get done in addition to the same functions you do. We try to leave the shelving for the kids, but it doesn't always work out. It boils down to "it's my responsibility to do it, one way or another." Oh, the work day is spread over 3 shifts. Hope this helps.

One staff member is responsible for check-in, claiming, and union list maintenance. Current issues are processed by this staff member and then sent to our periodicals circ. desk where students are responsible for tattletaping and shelving in the currents collection (closed stacks). Another staff member is responsible for student supervision and circulation of periodicals. A third staff member prepares materials for bindery, in-house and commercial, and is back-up to public services (student supervision and circ.) Cataloging maintains a shelflist yet and must check-in bound volumes before they come back to us for students to shelve. Arlene E.
