How LRC assistants help maintain the film collection
2014/01/21
Leave a comment
- 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)
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:

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:

New supervisor role for senior LRC Assistants
2014/01/13
Leave a comment
- A new LRC Assistant list, sorted by hire date, has been posted on the inside LRC reception desk. Use it to determine who is currently the most senior LRC assistant at the desk. The current most senior LRC assistant serves as supervisor and always wears the green supervisor badge pictured below. When the supervisor leaves, the supervisor passes on the badge to the next senior LRC assistant in line.
- Supervisors do not have to perform clerical tasks (meeting requests, equipment handling, etc.) as long as there are enough less senior LRC assistants to handle the client load. Rather, supervisors monitor less experienced LRC assistants operating the reception desk computers, equipment etc. , help train them and avoid mistakes.
