We identified over 200 volumes that needed a new cover. In addition, we have begun a project to identify items that need preservation treatment. So far about 60 have been sent. Services One of the services that had to be put on hold when we implemented Aleph was an automatic way to create a list of approval books for users to view.

Karen, with help from a student worker, has updated and in some cases written documentation for a user manual and a staff manual. The goal is to finish putting these documents up on the web. As a result of the user manual, in January 2000 we sponsored a Tea for the faculty and graduate students to introduce them to the manual, the redesigned web pages, and Aleph. We invited Joni Kanzler to help explain how to use the catalog. The tea was well attended.
