I am proficient in utilizing SirsiDynix and technology tools to manage and update library records effectively. My responsibilities include:

• Home Location Updates: Ensuring accurate categorization and accessibility by changing the home location of books in the system.

• Physical Maintenance of Materials:

  • Applying spine label protectors to maintain durability and aid in shelf identification.

  • Adding hardcover book jacket protectors to preserve materials’ integrity and improve their appearance.

• Inventory Accuracy: Verifying incoming shipments against packing lists to prevent discrepancies and maintain proper inventory management.

• Labeling: Applying home address labels for correct return processing.

• Shelf-Ready Preparation: Preparing cataloged books to ensure they are ready for immediate placement on shelves.

I am proficient in managing and organizing the reserve list for the library, ensuring that high-demand resources are readily available to support the academic needs of students and faculty. My responsibilities include:

• Adding High-Demand Materials: Ensuring that essential items such as textbooks, reference materials, whiteboard marker kits, rulers, HDMI cords, Blu-ray players, and other requested resources are available on reserve.

• Timely Availability of Reserve Items: Monitoring the availability and circulation of reserve materials to ensure they are accessible when needed, contributing to efficient academic support.

• Accurate Reserve Listings: Maintaining an up-to-date and accurate record of all items on reserve, making it easy for students and faculty to locate and borrow the materials they need.

I specialize in managing digital content on LibGuides, a platform for creating and organizing research guides. My contributions include:

• Adding books and resources to research guides, ensuring access to relevant and up-to-date information for academic use.

• Structuring content to be well-organized and visually engaging, aligning with the library’s mission to support academic research and learning.

I completed the LC Easy 3.0 training program, which provides foundational instruction and hands-on practice with the Library of Congress Classification (LCC) System. Designed for new library staff, this program includes:

• An introductory tutorial on LCC principles

• Extensive classification and shelving practice

• Corrective feedback and guided intervention

• Shelf reading exercises to improve accuracy and efficiency in maintaining organized collections

This training has strengthened my ability to accurately classify, shelve, and locate materials—key skills in maintaining a well-functioning library.

I successfully completed my first-ever inventory using SirsiDynix, excluding the final step of running reports. Throughout the process, I ensured accuracy and completeness by:

• Scanning and Verifying Records: Carefully scanned all items and verified that each record matched the physical item. I cross-checked bibliographic data to ensure consistency and correctness.

• Reviewing Missed Items Report: Accessed and interpreted the report identifying items missed during the scanning process. I followed up by either re-scanning those items or appropriately marking them as missing in the system.

• Quality Control: After scanning, I reviewed all records to confirm that they were correctly updated and reflected the current status of each item.

• This experience has strengthened my understanding of inventory workflows and report interpretation within SirsiDynix, and has prepared me for more advanced cataloging and collection management tasks.

As a member of the library's social media committee, I use Adobe Express to create and schedule visually engaging posts that promote library events, new resources, and academic tools. This role allows me to support outreach efforts, enhance community engagement, and align digital communications with institutional goals.
