Yes, it has been entirely too long since we've done one of these, but Wednesdays typically are one of the library's busiest days.
Today I have:
*Worked the circulation and reference desks.
*Uploaded a ton of sheet music images to flickr (almost too fun to be considered work, though!)
*Digitized some cassette tapes from the Rosmer Collection.
*Housed some pieces of sheet music that belong in our Digital Sheet Music Project.
and
*Wrote this blog!
Hope all of you are having a great start to the semester. If you need anything, please let us know.

What we're working on Wednesday!
I missed posting yesterday, so I'll catch you up today.
We're still working on updating the container list for the Claude Casey Collection.
Yesterday we also went to Thomas Cooper Library to photograph the entries in the "What Can You Make with Catalog Cards?" contest. They are OUTSTANDING!
The biggest entry (in size) is the Cooper Trooper.
Besides that, we worked on a bunch of reference questions, and compiled some library statistics. Did you know that during the week before Thanksgiving break, the Music Library employees were asked over 150 reference questions? Cool, huh?
Be sure to check out our hours page. We've got the hours through the end of Spring, 2010 posted.
Good luck on your juries and final exams! Let us know if we can help!

What we're working on Wednesday!
So we've missed a couple of WWW on Wednesdays...sorry about that. Lots of meetings for USC Librarians this time of year.
Anyway, this week we've been busy dubbing VHS tapes from the collection of Talmage Fauntleroy (web pages coming soon!), adding more sheet music to our Digital Sheet Music Collection (including figuring out why some pages mysteriously turned pink when uploaded), changing webpages, and answering emailed reference questions!
Did you know that the Music Librarians typically handle about three reference questions via email from patrons all over the world per day? Just this morning we had a patron looking for the sheet music to the Chiquita banana song. Fun!

What we're working on Wednesday
...2nd edition.
This Wednesday was filled with lots of emails to various members of The Southeast Chapter of the Music Library Association (SEMLA). I am chair of the Public Relations/Outreach team and the archivist. My emails were trying to track down who within SEMLA had specific information that I needed. If you live in the south and are interested in music and libraries, SEMLA's student membership is only $5!
Besides emails, I changed lots of our special collections web pages. Did you know the Music Library has nearly 300 web pages, and a majority of those are from our special collections?

What we're working on Wednesday!
I hope this will be the first of many "What we're working on" Wednesdays.
Today has been a very busy day! I made some webpage changes and created new pages for a new special collection. After lunch a group of us got ready to present to MUSC 100 (music seminar). There are about 250 undergraduate music majors who attend this class. I think they enjoyed our presentation.
I also worked on updating our blog, facebook, and flickr accounts.
The afternoon was spent reorganizing the hundreds of cassette tapes in the Claude Casey Collection.
