Before I dazzle you all with my deliverables, please have a look at the outcomes I have discussed with my host site supervisor. With only two librarians working on decades of backlogged material as well as managing daily activities, you can probably imagine there is a lot to do to stay busy!

Artifact 1 is a log of the two research questions I answered.
The two rows are highlighted in powder blue.
Artifact 2 is log of a wave of books I added to the collection through copy cataloging.

Artifact 3 gave me the opporunity to assess a large donation of art books. The process was very informative
because I found out that several items could be included if they were outside of the scope of the MCA if the artist is well-known,
the gallery is well-known, or if the book is old, but rare.
Artifact 4 is part of an ongoing process at the MCA library. They have forty pages of corrupted records to sift through.
Here are three examples of before and after images of the original records in Learning Access, the former ILS, the corrupt records in Koha,
and the fixed up records after a replacement import.
Artifact 5 consists of two separate projects. First, I started providing decriptions to VHS footage
that had been digitized and uploaded to several servers.
My contributions to that project are highlighted in a tangerine hue.
About three weeks toward the end of my internship, I was given a new project which involved
inventorying several boxes of VHS tapes that were scheduled to be digitized and added to the video archive.
This work is detailed in the second file.
Since it was a brand new project, all entries were created by me.
A Bonus Artifact presented itself when the library received an exhibition pamphlet to add to the exhibition archive.
These records do not follow LC classification, and theirfore are created from scratch. I had the opportunity to add this
record to the catalog under the guidance of my host site supervisor.
