I went on a bit of a scouting mission to Main Library yesterday (a little late, but I didn't want to be seen casing the place, as it were). Talked to several staff members, asked general but analytical questions, and took a good hard look at the shelves.
Needless to say, I am now utterly terrified. Collection size: estimated by 2 people to be in the neighborhood of 350 - 400K. Display items are statused, but that doesn't imply where they might be. As far as I know, there are only 10 shelvers (meaning their collection is 30% larger than ours, but they have the same number of people shelving it).
Wow, I never realized how good I have it right now, if the 10-person figure is right. The Center for Discovery alone is big enough to give me palpitations.
I went looking for one of those inspirational-type tchochkes and found a little Buddha. Also bought a magnet that says, of all the long and esoteric quotes one can find, "Everything happens for a reason." *nods* The truth can be simple.
Hope you all had great weeekends!

b) w00t. They are looking to completely reorganize and restaff, which is always good.
It's a fairly lateral move, with less external customer interaction (i.e. I'd be managing LSA/LTA workflow) and more work on efficiency and getting things running smoothly. It's what I've been doing here on a larger scale. My kind of thing.
