How LRC assistants help maintain the film collection
2014/01/21

- You may find your self confronted with a box like this (at any given time):
- Has the movie already received one of our 4-digit labels?
- yes
- check it into the LRC Film collection spreadsheet
- no = Cataloguing new movies
- can you find the title of the movie in the LRC Film collection spreadsheet,
- yes: then find the label this movie has to be assigned
- no: take whatever label you need from the pre-printed sheets (coed436) and attach it to the new unlabeled movie box
- can you find the title of the movie in the LRC Film collection spreadsheet,
- yes
- put the movie, now labeled, on the stacks in proper sort order
- movie reserve shelf: consolidate it with the film collection (weekly)
- movie stacks: consolidate it with the film collection (monthly)

- UPDATE: now with more videos to watch.
- First switch languages, once you are in the right language:
- The speech recognition loads at startup with this window:
- or can be started from the desktop shortcut:
- To activate = make it start/stop listening, click on the microphone
- create and save individualized voice training data (only the first time you use speech recognition in the LRC),
- Watch how to train (for English, short 5 minutes);
- Watch how to back up/restore;
- beginner voice training example (long, before/after effect in speech recognition),
- homework assignment exercise design,
- Watch how (for English, with correction in MS-Word)
- dictation example.

Putting 2 Manfroto and Cullman camera tripods and 2 Smith-Victor Lights back into circulation with repair parts from eBay and HomeDepot

- The Library handed us back circulation of equipment that supports production classes in film studies since they could not maintain the equipment in good state of repair. We are having a hard time to do that, too,
- and regularly seem to lose – since we have no library, but only student staff, likely even more – vital parts (despite plenty of training and (feed:)checklists)
- which we cannot get replaced through approved university procurement channels.
- Enter the local HomeDepot, which has an entire aisle dedicated to screws, bolts, nuts and wing nuts, and eBay, which provides reasonable search features if you specify your parts well. While we do not have part numbers, the first order attempt was delivered in short time and proved successful: Here are the broken lights (screws wing nuts has been replaced in the meantime):
- Here are the the fixed tripods
- (still in the surplus bin, but no need: back into circulation):
- and their original parts, and replacement parts from eBay:

Including Calendars, useful if you need to receive a reminder for your LRC bookings. It is all documented here (but the student instructions are on top of the search results, which may be confusing to some): http://itservices.uncc.edu/facultystaff-services/email/mobile.

This effectively prevents all reservations of shared equipment. We tested with these 4 resources, and increasingly nearer dates in the future (from May to today). This is in Offcie265 from a student account. From a staff account in OWA, I do not see the same behavior:
