May. Healey meets regularly with the reconfiguration project manager and the access services librarian to discuss the logistics of the move, while she and the stacks project coordinator determine which books should go on what shelves and where to leave room for growth in the collections. Until the puzzle is solved, Healey's staff rearranges the old books daily to make room for the continual stream of new books. Despite rumors of love in the stacks, Healey swears she hasn't seen so much as a slumbering student. She's seen the left-behind candy wrappers and Starbucks cups, though, and learned that sometimes dogs really do eat homework. I see the evidence of these things, but the circulation desk has to deal with the people.
People really have to answer to the preservation department.
We re used to trying things. An instrument maker and designer in the University's Central Shop from 1984 until 1992, he became the shop's manager in 1997. He spent the five years between as a design engineer in the U of C's Engineering Center, a group of about 50 people that now encompasses the shop. Though considered part of the Physical Sciences Division, the Central Shop also does work for the BSD and the Hospitals, and occasionally for other universities and research institutions. Most of the Central Shop employees have regular clients, professors or grad students who bring them ideas for an instrument that needs to be made or refined.
