BARCODING PROJECT LAUNCHED

     This summer, Lister Hill Library will begin its long awaited barcoding project.  This project has been in the works for many years, but now it seems as if it will really happen.
     The old journals (before 1980) will now be barcoded and recorded in the computer system.  This is very important because it will make looking up these older journals much easier.  This will benefit the patrons as well as the library staff.
     However, this project will cause some minor changes for some Lister Hill employees.  In order to devote as much time as possible to this important project, some members of the staff have had some of their daily duties eliminated for now.  Temporary workers will fill in.
     This project may last several months (or maybe even years, depending on the schedule).  It will require much detailed work.  But it will definitely be worth it in the end.
